Information about Silver Trade 20 EUR PF AUT - 2024
The second coin in the series The White Gold of the Salzkammergut tells the story of the salt trade, which made Hallstatt a center of long-distance trade. The grave finds bear witness to these far-reaching connections: Amber from the Baltic, glass from Italy and ornate sword pommels from Africa bear witness to a lively exchange with a wide variety of cultures.
The people of Hallstatt transported their salt across Lake Traunsee, where salt pirates lurked in their boats, and along the narrow paths of the Alps, which were often threatened by avalanches. A well-developed network of trade routes connecting Hallstatt with the coasts of the North Sea and the Mediterranean made this risky trade possible in the first place. The people of Hallstatt were true pioneers of trade, mastering not only the challenges of nature but also the threats posed by pirates. The Silver Trade 20 EUR PF AUT - 2024 coin is struck in the highest minting quality proof and comes in a case and with a certificate of authenticity. The proof quality (PF) is particularly sought after by collectors and is one of the most elaborate production processes for a coin. The coin is limited to a mintage of only 30,000 pieces.
The design of the silver coin
The coin combines past and present in a fascinating interplay. The value side depicts a mythical creature from a prehistoric grave, reminiscent of Hallstatt's connections to the Mediterranean region. The coin also features the words “REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH”, the denomination of “20 EURO” and the year of issue “2024”. The other side of the coin shows a vivid image of salt transportation. The stylized depiction, inspired by the Hallstatt situla art, gives the whole thing a modern touch.
