| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a medieval figural scene commemorating the 1000th anniversary of the first documented mention of Austria. At centre, a crowned and robed sovereign figure is enthroned above the Austrian shield, holding a sceptre and a cross-emblazoned shield. In the lower field, two medieval figures — a farmer and a warrior — are depicted in dynamic poses alongside an ox, symbolising agriculture and defence. Stylised wheat sheaves and fish fill the background, evoking the natural wealth of the land. The arc legend '1000 JAHRE OSTARRICHI' runs along the upper rim, with the inscription 'ANNO 996' flanking the enthroned figure in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Austria's millennial year — marking a thousand years from the 996 AD document in which the name "Ostarrichi" first appears in writing — prompted a wave of commemorative issues across multiple denominations. The name surfaces in a deed from Emperor Otto III, a routine land grant that happened to contain the earliest known written record of what would become Österreich.
