0 Euro - 100 Jahre Einführung des Schillings

Austria retired the Schilling on 28 February 2002, when euro banknotes and coins took over — meaning the centenary this souvenir note commemorates lands in 2024, exactly 100 years after the Schilling was introduced in 1924 to replace the catastrophically inflated Krone following the collapse of the Habsburg economy. The original introduction was itself a crisis measure, executed under League of Nations supervision with strict conditions attached to Austrian fiscal policy.

Zero-euro souvenir notes carry no legal tender status anywhere. Oberthur produces the vast majority of them for the European collector market under licensing arrangements with cultural institutions and national issuers.
