Hello Everyone, as some of you know I mainly collect Icelandic Coins. While I was away from Cointalk I started a collection of Austrian coins, mainly 2 Hellers. Well I have nearly completed that set, I just need an 1892 to finish it off. Here are a couple photos from that set. (these are the same photos from an earlier post). I would really like to see some other Austrian coins if you have them. I'm trying to decide where to go next. I'm hoping that someone has something that catches my eye! Thanks in Advance, Mark in NJ
Very Nice Siberian Man, I knew that if anyone would have some photo's it would be you LOL. It is so nice to see you again! Wow, I havent seen these before, they are all really nice! I really like 1807, the detail is great Thanks for the quick reply!
Wow!, I know I have said this before but I would just LOVE to see your entire collection Siberian Man. Thanks so much for sharing these photos. We can always count on you my friend!
Great Hellers Mark. I'm just now getting into collecting the 25 Schillings. Picked up these two a week ago. My dealer has a pretty sizable inventory of Austrian.
The first one, Mariazell, is on several Austrian coins - either the church or the madonna. In the mid-1930s the Mariazell Madonna (Magna Mater Austriae) was on a 5 schilling silver coin http://www.ma-shops.de/moeller/pic/artid1798_combined.jpg and a 100 schilling gold coin. Then, in 1957, your coin was issued. In 1982 it was the madonna again, see http://www.muenzauktion.com/duerr/pic/7070_20111003010_m.jpg ... and the last one so far came out in 2007: http://www.webheimat.at/magazin/Finanzen/Muenzen/Muenze-Mariazell/Mariazell-Muenze_high.jpg And Mozart has been depicted on many Austrian pieces ... He is even on the €1 circulation coin: http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/images/image8589.gif Christian

By far my favorite "Austrian coin" (and possibly my favorite coin): Who is Maria Luisa, Duchess of Parma? http://www.answers.com/topic/marie-louise guy
