| Obverse description | At center, the numeral '5' is prominently displayed in the field, surrounded by the nine heraldic shields of the Austrian federal provinces arranged in a circular composition. The legend 'REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH' arcs around the perimeter of the coin face, with the denomination '5 EURO' inscribed below the central numeral. The overall design consciously echoes the classical layout of the pre-euro Austrian 50 Schilling coinage. The nonagonal flan lends the piece a distinctive nine-sided outline characteristic of the Austrian silver commemorative series. |

| Reverse description | A left-facing portrait of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart occupies the central field, rendered in refined relief with period-appropriate attire. In the background, a detailed depiction of Salzburg Cathedral serves as an architectural backdrop, evoking Mozart's birthplace. The legend 'WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART' arcs prominently across the upper portion of the reverse, while the dates '1756' and '1791', denoting the composer's birth and death years, flank the portrait, with the issue year '2006' inscribed below to mark the 250th anniversary of his birth. |
