| Obverse description | The central field depicts an ornately decorated medieval Bible in high relief, its jewelled cover rendered in fine detail, positioned at the intersection of a cross-shaped compositional framework that divides the field into four quadrants. Each quadrant contains one of the four Evangelists' symbols: the eagle of John (upper left), the angel of Matthew (upper right), the lion of Mark (lower left), and the winged ox of Luke (lower right), each identified by its abbreviated Latin inscription — Joh, Mt, Mk, and Lk — in the field. The date 2001 is divided across the lower portion of the central motif. The circular legend REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH appears at the upper periphery, and 500 SCHILLING along the lower periphery, both separated by dot stops. |
