Where it came from
The 3-euro coin series was introduced by the Austrian Mint in 2016 as a unique numismatic innovation, featuring a distinctive circular design and a dodecagonal edge. These coins are intended primarily for collectors rather than circulation, reflecting Austria's long-standing tradition of combining fine metalwork with themes centered on nature and local biodiversity.
The 2017 Kingfisher issue serves as the second installment in the 'Colourful Creatures' series, which focuses on the vibrant wildlife found along Austrian waterways. Designed by the Mint's skilled engraving team, the obverse features a highly detailed depiction of the bird in its habitat, utilizing advanced color-printing technology to emphasize the iridescence of its plumage, while the reverse depicts a collage of the other creatures featured in the series.
