| Additional information |
Austria's annual New Year commemorative series has been issued since 2002, typically pairing a seasonal theme with accessibility pricing — the .800 fineness keeps silver content and therefore retail cost deliberately modest, targeting gift buyers rather than serious collectors. The 2014 issue continued that pattern without interruption.
The "a" suffix on both KM and Schön references distinguishes this from a companion piece struck in .925 silver the same year, a two-variant release structure the Austrian Mint has employed across several issues in this series.
