Issued to mark the bicentenary of the Tyrolean Rebellion against Napoleonic occupation, this coin commemorates Andreas Hofer's 1809 uprising — a peasant-led insurgency that twice expelled French and Bavarian forces from Innsbruck before Napoleon personally ordered its suppression. Hofer was captured in February 1810 and shot by firing squad in Mantua, becoming the defining martyr of Austrian national memory.
Austria's .800 silver 5 Euro series from this period was deliberately pitched as affordable commemorative coinage, not collector bullion. The alloy choice reflects that mandate precisely.
