One is struck from the first by this nine sided coin, symbolic for the nine federal provinces of Austria. Their coats-of arms encircle the denomination "5" with the inscription "Republik Österreich" and "Euro".

In 2006 the world celebrates Mozart's 250th birthday. This silver coin is an impressive collector's piece for this occasion. It shows a profile portrait of Mozart himself with the Salzburg cathedral in the background. The small mark designed from the € symbol and the European star identifies the coin as part of a "Europa Series" by a number of European states.
