Coins of Austria

The Austrian coins were minted in Vienna. Denominated coins for Austria: 1, 2, 10 and 20 Heller; 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 100 Corona (the Latin form of the name was used on coins). The Austrian 100 corona is still being minted, with a 1915 mint mark to enable Austrians to take advantage of a grandfather clause in the law regarding private ownership of gold bullion. It is a popular gold bullion coin similar to the Krugerrand.
