[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 10090, member: 669"]The "error" set is listed as PS3 in Krause, and includes two coins that are not in the less expensive PS4 - KM#2895.2, a silver 25 schilling; and KM#2896, a silver 50 schilling. The Grillparzer reference is 19th Century Austrian poet and playright [URL=http://www.aboutvienna.org/literature/franz_grillparzer.htm]Franz Grillparzer[/URL], whose portrait is on the reverse of the 25 schilling. The 50 schilling commemorates the '64 Winter Olympics at Innsbruck. The 25 schilling in the error set has 9 shields in the obverse design, and only 3,660 proofs were minted. The other version (KM#2895.1) has 10 shields, and a mintage of 36,000 proofs and 1,664,000 circulation coins.
