| Obverse description | A detailed panoramic view of the Wachau region dominates the central field, depicting the Melk Abbey complex and other historic baroque architectural monuments set against a hillside landscape, with vineyards and a riverside arch in the foreground. The denomination '10 EURO' is rendered in large numerals across the lower-central field. The curved legend 'REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH' arcs along the upper border, with the date '2013' inscribed vertically at the left and the regional name 'WACHAU' placed to the right within the architectural composition. |

| Additional information |
Austria's nine-state commemorative silver series ran alongside a bronze-aluminum version sold at face value, with the silver strikes intended purely for collectors. Niederösterreich — the state surrounding but not including Vienna — is the largest of Austria's federal states by area, and its 2013 issue coincides with the broader federal commemorative program that cycled through all nine Bundesländer between 2008 and 2015.
The .925 fineness rather than the more common .900 used in earlier Austrian silver issues reflects a house standard adopted by the Vienna Mint after 2000.
