    Beautiful coin , I'm a US Type collector but have been branching off into Mexican Pesos , but would like to get some European coins like yours , I think Austria has some great designs , love that double headed eagle on the reverse .

    I got a Type-I and Type-II 1968 25 Peso pair. :P Now to find the elusive Type-III. (Best part of this, I sold two Type-I coins two days ago for $4 more than the Type-I/II pair... then again, my old ones were in MUCH better condition than these new ones... but it's always nice to make $4 swap on spot after shipping.)

    Keep 'em coming guys!

    Thanks for the compliments on the Austrian coin. It is easily among my top 5 favorite coins in my collection. As I've said before some crud on nice VF-Au coins really gives it some character and beauty Click here to enlarge
    The detail on this coin is amazing. The minute details on the reverse are beautiful, but the obverse is just a stunner. The beard and hair, but especially the eye...it looks like he has a real one lol.
