| Beschrijving keerzijde | Left-facing bust of the composer Joseph Haydn in high relief, depicted in late 18th-century attire with a powdered queue wig, cravat, and coat, in the neoclassical portrait style characteristic of Edwin Grienauer's medallic work. The legend 'JOSEF HAYDN' arcs along the upper periphery in a period-style lettering. The commemorative dates '1732 - 1932' appear in the lower field, flanking the truncation, marking the bicentennial of the composer's birth. The engraver's signature 'GRIENAUER' is inscribed in small capitals along the lower bust truncation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the bicentennial of Haydn's birth, this coin appeared at one of the worst possible moments for Austrian public finances — the early 1930s depression had already forced the collapse of the Creditanstalt in 1931, dragging the national economy into crisis. Commemorative silver issues of this period were as much about projecting cultural prestige as about circulation, and most examples survived intact precisely because buyers treated them as keepsakes rather than spending money.
The .640 fine silver alloy was a deliberate economy over earlier Austrian commemorative standards.
