| Reverse description | A richly detailed naïve-style composition evokes the natural and cultural landscape of Austria. The upper field depicts an alpine scene with ibex and chamois on rocky peaks surmounted by a cross, rendered in a stylized, folk-art manner. The middle register features a lakeside environment with deciduous trees, a fishing boat with a net, and aquatic creatures including fish and a serpentine beast. In the lower field, a sailing vessel navigates stylized waves populated by decorative fish, beneath a radiant sun at upper right. The legend KÄRNTEN KOROSKA curves along the lower rim in both German and Slovenian, identifying the Austrian federal state of Carinthia. |

Part of Austria's "Land of Your Dreams" series celebrating the country's intangible cultural heritage, this issue coincides with falconry's inscription onto UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2010 — a listing Austria shared with ten other nations. The sport has been practiced continuously in the Alpine regions for over a millennium.
