Movement Winter Olympics 200 Schilling 1 oz Silver

Product packaged in original leather box including certificate. The coin weighs 33.63 grams of sterling silver, i.e. 1 ounce of pure silver.The history of the Austrian Mint (Münze Österreich) dates back to the 12th century, when Austrian Prince Leopold VI demanded 15 tonnes of silver in exchange for the release of British King Richard the Lionheart. The process of melting the ransom and minting the coins began a long-standing tradition for the Vienna Mint, which became the State Mint during the period of the newly formed Austrian Republic, just after the First World War.The company, which produces 450 million coins per year, is owned by the Central Bank of Austria, so the Austrian Mint's products have government guarantees of bullion purity.
