This is the first coin in a new series called Trachten - Traditional and Trendy. Aufdirndln – Linen celebrates this most iconic of dresses.

Seamlessly blending tradition, elegance and rustic joie de vivre, the dirndl is so much more than just a dress. With its flowing skirt and fitted waist, the dirndl is as sartorially symbolic of Austria as the tracht and the lederhosen, while adding colour and celebrating femininity.

The dirndl was traditionally made from linen. A robust, breathable material that comes from the flax plant, which flourishes in many parts of Austria, linen is not only durable, environmentally friendly and timelessly appealing, it also adds a truly special touch to the dirndl. Several different types of fabric now play a role in the production of the dress. In combination with the broad range of colors and designs used, this makes each dirndl unique.

The coin’s reverse shows a woman wearing a white linen blouse under a sleeveless dirndl with an apron on top. The apron is the centrepiece of the dirndl and also harbors a secret – the bow reveals whether the dirndl wearer’s heart is spoken for or not. In her raised left hand and her basket, the woman carries flax flowers, from which linen is made. The coin’s obverse features tools for processing linen and products made by hand using the fabric.
