The nine-sided coin blank itself reflects the nine provinces theme. The circular legend along the outer border reads 'REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH' at the top and '· EURO ·' at the bottom, all in incuse Latin lettering conforming to the nonagonal shape of the flan. |

| Additional information |
Issued ahead of the 2013 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships held in Schladming, a Styrian town that had previously hosted the event in 1982. Austria released two versions of this commemorative: this .800 fine silver piece alongside a copper-zinc "special uncirculated" base-metal edition — an unusual dual-format release that reflected the mint's push to broaden commemorative accessibility without undermining collector demand for the silver issue.
