Part of the Austrian Mint's ongoing "Tracht & Tradition" series celebrating regional folk dress, this issue commemorates the Lederhose — leather breeches with roots in Alpine working culture that became codified as ceremonial dress largely through 19th-century Bavarian and Tyrolean regional identity movements. The copper composition places it firmly in the collectible rather than bullion category.
