Austria's "Animals of the Alps" bullion series launched in 2014 as a direct competitor to established wildlife gold programs from Perth and the Royal Canadian Mint. The wild boar was the inaugural subject, setting the series format that would continue with chamois, golden eagle, and others in subsequent years. Münze Österreich struck these in .986 fineness — marginally purer than the .9999 standard adopted by most modern bullion programs, a deliberate callback to the traditional Vienna fineness used in historical Austrian gold coinage.
