[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 237747, member: 39"]Leaving collector coins aside, Mozart is depicted on the Austrian €1 coin. Austria also had Joseph Haydn and Anton Bruckner on 20 schilling circulating commems, and Johann Strauß (jr.) on a 50 schilling "semi-circulating" commem. That one shows the composer and also some notes. Now if we included collector pieces, this would become an awfully long list very quickly. But there is one German coin, issued by the GDR and honoring Johann Sebastian Bach, that I would like to show here: [img]http://www.reppa.de/images/JA_img/big/av/1190415005.gif[/img] This one I find interesting because it does not actually show Bach. :) What you see is the birth/death years, notes from the Prelude of The Well Tempered Clavier, and Bach's signature.
