The eagle's talons grasp a hammer and sickle joined by a broken chain, symbolizing liberation. The engraver's initials QVFAL appear in the lower right field. The circular legend REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination SCHILLING and numeral 1000, flanked by two dots, are inscribed along the lower periphery. |

| Reverse description | A mounted knight, representing a Babenberg margrave, is depicted in dynamic profile galloping to the left, holding a banner in his right hand and a shield on his left arm, both bearing heraldic devices. The horse is shown in full stride against a stylized alpine landscape rendered in low relief in the lower portion of the field. The date range 976-1976 appears to the left of the composition, commemorating the millennium of the Babenberg dynasty's investiture in Austria, and the legend EINSETZUNG DER BABENBERGER, preceded by the engraver's name G SIMON, is inscribed along the lower field and periphery. |
