Austria


Since 2002 to 2006 or until now, the Austrian coins are very difficult to find here in Portugal. The 1 cent coins are really rare around here.

Click here to see the image of the 8 different designs of the Austrian coins with representative historical monuments or figures like Mozart (1€) and the Nobel price Winner Bertha Von Suttner (2€).
