| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a finely engraved scene of a stonemason at work, depicted in period costume including a flat cap, seated at a workbench and applying a chisel to an ornamental stone element. To the right of the artisan, partially finished Gothic or Baroque architectural stone carvings are displayed upright, illustrating the craft traditions of Austrian masonry. The composition fills the entire field without a border legend, rendered in high relief with strong modelling that emphasises the texture of the craftsman's garments and tools. The engraver's initials appear discretely in the lower right field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of Austria's long-running "People and Work" silver series, which documented traditional trades and crafts through the 1990s. The stonemason issue appeared at a moment when Austrian stonemasonry was undergoing a quiet institutional revival — several historic restoration projects on Vienna's Gothic and Baroque civic buildings had created renewed demand for practitioners of a trade that had nearly vanished as a formal apprenticeship track after World War II.
Mintage for the series was capped to maintain collector premiums, and most examples went directly into sets rather than circulation — the 500 Schilling face value placed them well above purchasing utility.
