[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 710594, member: 6229"][FONT=Arial]Come on in. I want to thank you for coming to the grand opening of my new Numismatic Art Gallery. I hope your visit is pleasant. Follow me to the Austrian Landmarks Exhibit. One cannot visit Austria without hearing about one of the most admired landmarks in our host country, Grafenegg Palace. Our canvas is a 27.8mm copper-aluminum-nickle 20 Schilling coin that was struck in 1984. All photos for todays exhibits are courtesy of Don's World Coin Gallery. This particular artifact has a special effects bonus. After photo loads, manuever your cursor over the reverse (palace) side, click it, and it will automatically produce an enlargement so you can see more details of the palace: [URL]http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coine_wd.php?dir=img6&image=11-2965&desc=Austria%20km2965%2020%20Schilling%20(1984-1993)%20Grafenegg%20Palace%20&query=Austria%20Grafenegg[/URL] Have you ever wondered what the Vienna Mint looks like? Do you know the Vienna Mint was established in 1194? Look what's on our next canvas. The artwork placed upon this 1984 20 Schilling coin shows the mint in all its glory, but you can even see more detail by clicking on the reverse side (mint side): [URL]http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coine_wd.php?dir=img6&image=11-3016&desc=Austria%20km3016%2020%20Schilling%20(1994)%20Vienna%20Mint%20&query=Austria%20Vienna%20Mint[/URL] Our next numismatic art display is of the landmark, Martinsturm which mint artist Wahner so deftly placed on the reverse of this 20 Schilling coin minted in 1990 (click photo for detailed enlargement): [URL]http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coine_wd.php?dir=img6&image=11-2993&desc=Austria%20km2993%2020%20Schilling%20(1990-1993)%20Martinsturm%20&query=Austria%20Martinsturm[/URL] I've covered this next exhibit to surprise you. Our next landmark was built in 1147 850 years before its character was placed on a 20 Schilling coin struck in 1997. Coin collectors, I present St. Stephen Cathedral! Click photo for detailed enlargement: [URL]http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coine_wd.php?dir=img6&image=11-3041&desc=Austria%20km3041%2020%20Schilling%20(1997)%20St.%20Stephens%20Cathedral%20&query=Austria%20Stephens[/URL] Did you like that? Wait until you see what Griehauer accomplished on the 1957 25 Schilling. Fellow numismatists here's his rendition of the Mariazell Basilica! Try the enlargement facility: [URL]http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coine_wd.php?dir=img6&image=11-2883&desc=Austria%20km2883%2025%20Schilling%20(1957)%20Mariazell%20Basilica%20&query=Austria%20Mariazell[/URL] And what numismatic artistry we'd miss if we didn't get to see the 25 Schilling that bears the edifice of Bergenland, Haydenkirche in Eisenstadt. Notice this exhibit was minted in 1961 and the photo has that magic enlargement mechanism for a closer look at its details: [URL]http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coine_wd.php?dir=img6&image=11-2891&desc=Austria%20km2891%2025%20Schilling%20(1961)%20Burgenland%20&query=Austria%20Burgenland[/URL] Who could visit Vienna and leave without without seeing the Vienna Bourse. No one could. Neither will you because in 1971 Austria saw fit to include the building on this 25 Schilling coin. Yes, enlargement is activayed on the photo: [URL]http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coine_wd.php?dir=img6&image=11-2910&desc=Austria%20km2910%2025%20Schilling%20(1971)%20Vienna%20Bourse%20&query=Austria%20Bourse[/URL] Numismatically speaking no coin or bank note in Austria circulates without eventually passing through the auspices of the Austrian Bank. Would you like to see it? Just rest your eyes on rhis 50 Schilling coin (sorry no enlargement available): [URL]http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coine.php?image=img6/11-2900&desc=Austria%20km2900%2050%20Schilling%20(1966)%20National%20Bank%20&query=Austria%20Bank[/URL] A numismatic rendering of the welknown landmark Bummerl House is a must see attraction and we have it on this 1973 50 Schilling (no enlargement feature): [URL]http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coine.php?image=img6/11-2916&desc=Austria%20km2916%2050%20Schilling%20(1973)%20Bummerl%20House%20&query=Austria%20Bummerl[/URL] A numismatic art show of Austria's landmarks would be incomplete if it did not include the world famous Salzburg Cathedral.
