This issue celebrates the centenary of the proclamation of the Austrian Republic, which took place during the last weeks of fighting of the First World War. The collapse of the Hapsburg Empire, and the dynasty who ruled Austria-Hungary since 1276, was imminent with the conclusion of the hostilities in 1918.

The obverse features the statue of Pallas Athena that stands proudly in front of the parliament building in Vienna. The Greek goddess of wisdom watches over the country and by looking up to her, Austrian citizens honor the spirit in which the Republic was founded upon.

The reverse is the standard Euro-zone circulation coin design for this denomination.
