Steiermark

Austria 2012 Steiermark Silver 10 Euro Coin

Celebrating the nine federal provinces of Austria, each 10 euro silver coin in the Austrian Mint’s charming new series Austria by its Children reproduces the winning design from a competition in which schoolchildren were asked to draw their home province.

Additional Information

The reverse of the first coin in the series, Steiermark, features the forests, apples and pumpkins for which her home province, the “green heart of Austria”, is famous. Designed by chief designer Thomas Pesendorfer, the coin’s obverse shows the magical Historic Centre and Schloss Eggenberg UNESCO World Heritage Site of the provincial capital, Graz. Some of the city’s other landmarks, such as its clock tower, town hall, mausoleum dome and baroque church tower, also feature.
