This is a complete, uncirculated 1988 Austrian mint set (Polierte Platte / Proof-like quality), beautifully presented in its original rigid plastic case as issued by the Austrian Chief Mint (Österreichisches Hauptmünzamt) in Vienna. The collection features the full range of 1988 circulation denominations: the 1, 2, 5, 10, and 50 Groschen, alongside the 1, 5, 10, and 20 Schilling coins. The obverses of these coins display iconic Austrian symbols and figures, ranging from the majestic alpine Edelweiss and the traditional Austrian eagle coat of arms (Bundesadler), to prominent historical architecture such as the Vienna State Opera and portraits of notable figures like the minnesinger Walther von der Vogelweide. The reverses uniformly display their respective denominations accompanied by agricultural motifs or classical wreaths. Historically, the Vienna Mint (Münze Österreich), which produced these coins, is one of the world's oldest continuously producing mints, originating in 1194 under Duke Leopold V, and holds a prestigious reputation for its high-quality numismatic craftsmanship. This comprehensive 1988 set serves as a perfect time capsule of pre-Euro Austrian currency and includes the official Mint token (Münzzeichen).
