| Beschrijving keerzijde | The silver centre presents a richly detailed panoramic skyline of Austrian architectural landmarks — including domed churches, towers, and historic urban rooftops — arranged in high relief across the right portion of the field. To the left, a large stylized letter 'D' (referencing the EU) overlaps a bridge or architectural element, with the word ÖSTERREICH IN DER EU inscribed vertically along the left margin and the Euro symbol appearing at lower centre. The date 1995 is incused in the lower right field. The outer gold-coloured ring carries twelve evenly spaced raised five-pointed stars, mirroring the obverse and echoing the European Union emblem. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Austria joined the European Union on January 1, 1995, following a June 1994 referendum in which 66.6% of voters approved accession — a decisive margin, though the Alpine republic had spent decades as a deliberately neutral state under the 1955 State Treaty, which had made formal alignment with any major bloc politically fraught. This coin was issued the same year as membership took effect.
The bimetallic construction was itself a pointed choice: the technique had been pioneered on Europe's new generation of circulation coinage, and deploying it here on a commemorative carried an implicit argument about where Austrian currency design was heading.
