50 Euro Mozart

Issued in the anniversary year of Mozart's 250th birth, this coin was part of Austria's broader commemorative program that coincided with Mozart Jahr 2006 — a nationwide cultural event that drew significant international attention to Salzburg. The Austrian Mint produced this piece in their characteristically high-purity .986 fine gold, a standard they reserve for premium collector issues rather than bullion product.

Fr#945 places it firmly in the Freeholder gold reference for modern Austrian issues, a relatively recent addition to that catalog's scope.
