3 Euros Yellow Stingray

Austria's 3 euro "Tierwelt Österreich" animal series has run since 2018, targeting young collectors through low face value and vivid color application — the yellow stingray here receives enamel-style coloring applied after striking. The denomination itself is a deliberate entry point, priced to sell at face value in mint sets while carrying no practical circulation role in the euro zone.

The yellow stingray (*Urobatis jamaicensis*) is not native to Austrian waters, which is characteristic of the series' later entries as the mint expanded beyond domestic fauna.
