Subject of the commemorative coin:
 200th anniversary of the founding of the Austrian National Bank

 Description of the design:
 The coin features two gods from Roman mythology, as depicted in the relief above the entrance to the main building of the Austrian National Bank (“Oesterreichische Nationalbank”): on the left Mercury, the messenger of the gods and god of trade, and on the right Fortuna, the goddess of fortune and prosperity, who is depicted with a cornucopia. In the background from left to right in the central part of the coin, the main building of the central bank. A decorative band reminiscent of the red-white-red pattern of the Austrian flag runs along the bottom of the inner part of the coin; in heraldry, hatched vertical stripes represent the colour red. The dates 1816 and 2016 to the left of Mercury refer to the year in which the central bank was founded and to its bicentenary. The inscriptions along the edge of the gold-coloured inner part of the coin read “Republik Österreich” and “200 Jahre Oesterreichische Nationalbank”. The coin’s outer ring depicts the twelve stars of the European flag.
