| Obverse description | A highly detailed architectural rendering of the Kirche am Steinhof (St. Leopold's Church, Vienna), designed by Otto Wagner and completed in 1907, occupies the central field. The Art Nouveau facade is depicted in precise relief, featuring the characteristic copper-clad dome flanked by twin bell towers and ornamental detailing along the facade. Flanking trees frame the composition on either side. The legend R·E·P·U·B·L·I·K Ö·S·T·E·R·R·E·I·C·H arcs along the upper border, while the inscription KIRCHE AM STEINHOF appears to the right of the dome in the field. The date 2005 is positioned in the lower central field, with the denomination 1·0·0 E·U·R·O rendered along the lower border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed depiction of the interior mosaic and stained-glass artwork of the Kirche am Steinhof, inspired by the designs of Koloman Moser. A central figure of God the Father in priestly vestments, rendered in the Secessionist style, is framed within an elaborate mosaic window composition. Two large winged angels in prayer flank the central image symmetrically, their intricately rendered feathered wings and robes filling the field. The overall composition reflects the Gesamtkunstwerk aesthetic of the Viennese Secession movement, capturing the spiritual and artistic character of the church's interior decoration. The design is entirely contained within the coin's circular border, with no additional legend or inscription on the reverse. |
