| Obverse description | The obverse displays the large denomination numeral '50' at center, with the word 'SCHILLING' inscribed directly below in the field. Surrounding the central denomination are nine heraldic shields representing the nine provinces (Bundesländer) of Austria, arranged in a circular composition. The circular legend reads '· REPUBLIK · ÖSTERREICH ·' around the outer border, interrupted at intervals by the provincial shields. The design, executed by Edwin Grienauer, presents a clean, emblematic composition with well-defined relief on all shield devices. |

| Additional information |
Julius Raab, Austrian Chancellor from 1953 to 1961, was the principal Austrian negotiator of the 1955 State Treaty that ended the post-war Allied occupation and restored full sovereignty to Austria. His willingness to accept permanent neutrality as the price of that agreement — a concession that split opinion domestically — proved decisive in breaking a decade of four-power deadlock. The commemorative was struck ten years after his death in 1964.
