| Obverse description | A detailed relief of the Austrian Parliament Building in Vienna dominates the central field, depicted in a classical Hellenic architectural style with a prominent colonnade and pediment. In the foreground, a crowd of citizens is shown assembled before the building, evoking the proclamation of the First Austrian Republic in 1918. To the right of the Parliament, the Pallas Athena fountain statue is visible atop its column. The legend REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH arcs across the upper field, while the denomination 100 SCHILLING and the date 1995 appear along the lower portion of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Austria's First Republic lasted only fifteen years before Dollfuss suspended parliament in 1933 and established his authoritarian "Fatherland Front" regime — a prelude to the Anschluss of 1938. This 1995 issue commemorates that ill-fated republic, struck in the same year Austria joined the European Union, a political milestone that would eventually render the Schilling itself obsolete within seven years.
