50 Schilling European Monetary Union

Austria's 1999 50-Schilling issue marked the country's entry into the eurozone on January 1st of that year, though Austrians would continue handling Schillings in their pockets for another three years — euro coins didn't physically circulate until 2002. The Schilling itself had survived since 1925, interrupted only by the Anschluss years when Germany absorbed Austrian currency entirely into the Reichsmark.

This was among the last commemorative issues before the Schilling was demonetized on February 28, 2002.
