Where it came from
The 500 Schilling coin issued by Austria in 1980 commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Austrian State Treaty, or Staatsvertrag, signed in 1955. This historic agreement re-established Austria as a sovereign, independent, and neutral state following the occupation by Allied forces after World War II. The coin serves as a numismatic record of this milestone in Austrian national identity and post-war reconstruction.
Designed by Alfred Hofmann, the coin features the national emblem on the obverse and a representation of the signing ceremony's atmosphere on the reverse. Hofmann, a noted sculptor and medalist, aimed to convey the gravity of the diplomatic achievement through a clean, commemorative aesthetic. Upon its release, the coin was widely acquired by citizens and collectors alike, remaining a staple of mid-century Austrian commemorative coinage.
