The Austrian Official Blister of 2015 comprises a full set of eight coins (from 1 cent to 2 euros). The blister is dedicated to the Spanish Riding School of Vienna.
The Spanish Riding School in Vienna is the only institution in the world which has practiced for nearly 450 years and continues to cultivate classical equitation in the Renaissance tradition of the haute école.
In 2015, the Spanish Riding School celebrated its 450th anniversary with a number of festivities. Glittering highlights were two gala performances (and one general rehearsal) at Heldenplatz in front of the Austrian Presidency end of June.
Austrian coins have a unique design for each denomination, with a common theme for each of the three series of coins. The minor coins feature Austrian flowers, the middle coins feature examples of architecture from Austria's capital, Vienna nd the two major coins feature famous Austrians.
