| Beschrijving keerzijde | The large numeral '10' dominates the central field in bold relief, with the denomination legend GROSCHEN arching above along the upper periphery. The date appears in the lower field beneath the numeral, flanked on either side by symmetrical sprigs of edelweiss and foliage rendered in fine detail. A small edelweiss flower is depicted at the base of the design directly below the date, providing a decorative lower border. The overall composition is clean and legible, characteristic of the utilitarian zinc coinage issued by Austria during the early post-war period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Austria's postwar zinc coinage was a direct consequence of occupation. With the country divided among American, British, French, and Soviet zones after 1945, raw materials were tightly constrained and aluminum and zinc were the only practical options for subsidiary coinage. This particular issue replaced an identical zinc type struck under the German-administered Reichsgau Ostmark, making it one of the more politically charged continuities in modern Austrian minting — the metal and module barely changed, only the issuing authority.
Zinc coins from this window corrode aggressively in humid storage, and problem-free survivors are harder to locate than mintage figures suggest.
