Austria voted by a two-thirds majority to join the European Union in 1994. However,
populist support for both the EU and the single currency, has fluctuated. A year before
the introduction of the single currency only 25 per cent of Austrians supported joining
the euro, but by the time it was launched in January 1999, 66 per cent were in favour.
Please take a look at The Austrian National
Mint.
Austria chose to produce a series of coins illustrating flowers, architecture and famous
people from its history. The designs were chosen by a national panel and public opinion poll.
All designs are by the hand of Josef Kaiser and they include the 12 stars of the EU and the
year of imprint. The coins have a unique design for each denomination, with a common theme for
each of the three series of coins.
