Obverse: the Temple of Olympia. The name of the country 'REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH' is embossed on the top. The denomination '1000 SCHILLING' is embossed at the bottom.
Reverse: the reverse of the coin shows the Greek god Zeus accompanied by the Olympic torch and the dates '1896-1996', marking the centenary of the Olympic Movement.
About the coin: this is a gold 1000 shilling coin issued by Austria in 1995 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Olympic Movement. The coin is 22 carats and contains exactly half an ounce of pure gold. It is therefore not only a collector's item but also an excellent investment.
