| Additional information |
Austria's 2-euro coins from this period use the revised eurozone map design introduced across all member states in 2008, prompted by the accession of Bulgaria and Romania in 2007 — the old map had omitted those countries and portions of the eastern Mediterranean entirely. The change was coordinated by the European Commission and required every participating mint to retire the first-map dies simultaneously.
Austrian euro coinage is produced at the Münze Österreich in Vienna, which traces its continuous operation to 1194, when ransom silver paid for the release of Richard I of England was coined there.
