| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely engraved scene depicting the interior of Vienna's Westbahnhof (West Railway Station), featuring a prominent statue of Empress Elisabeth (Sisi) set within the grand vaulted platform hall. Passengers and architectural details of the historic station are rendered in the background, evoking the elegance of 19th-century imperial travel. The composition blends portraiture and architectural motifs in a style consistent with Austrian commemorative coin artistry of the period. The reverse legend KAISERIN– ELISABETH– WESTBAHN is inscribed, referencing both the Empress and the eponymous railway line she inspired. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Westbahn — the western railway line linking Vienna to Salzburg — was inaugurated in 1858, and Empress Elisabeth was among its earliest prominent passengers, using it repeatedly for her restless travels away from the Viennese court she found suffocating. Austria's silver commemorative program has issued dozens of cultural and historical subjects, but the pairing of Elisabeth with the Westbahn is unusually specific: it ties her to the infrastructure of escape rather than to imperial ceremony.
The .900 fineness places this outside Austria's standard .925 commemorative silver, a deliberate choice to hit the 20g weight at the prescribed diameter.
