背面描述	The reverse features a right-facing bust of the Austrian chemist and inventor Carl Auer von Welsbach, portrayed with a goatee beard and wearing a high-collared jacket, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail. The circular legend 'CARL AUER V. WELSBACH' arcs across the upper field, while the birth and death years '1858' and '1929' flank the portrait vertically along the right side. The commemorative date '·1958·' appears in the lower exergue, and the engraver's signature 'L·HUJER' is incused at the base of the bust.

附加信息	Carl Auer von Welsbach was one of the most commercially consequential chemists of the 19th century — inventor of the gas mantle, the flint lighter, and the isolation of several rare earth elements — yet this 1958 issue marking the centenary of his birth was part of Austria's postwar silver commemorative program that drew little international attention at the time. The series was aimed squarely at a domestic collecting market still rebuilding after occupation. The .800 silver alloy was a deliberate cost compromise, chosen as Austria worked to reestablish its mint operations under the Second Republic.
