| Reverse description | A medieval hospital interior scene is depicted in fine relief, showing a robed nurse attending to a brother lying in a bed, rendered with careful attention to period detail in clothing and furnishings. A Teutonic Knight in full armour stands to one side, observing the scene with a posture conveying concern and vigilance. The composition illustrates the charitable and medical mission of the Teutonic Order, a central theme of this commemorative issue. The artistic style employs rich low-relief engraving with detailed cross-hatching to define textures and depth throughout the scene. |

Part of Austria's "Musentempel" series celebrating the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, this issue focuses on the museum's collection rather than its architecture — a deliberate curatorial choice by the mint to highlight specific works rather than the institution as a whole. The Kunsthistorisches Museum itself was commissioned by Emperor Franz Joseph I and opened in 1891, purpose-built to house the Habsburg imperial collections.
