Information about Silver World Champion 5 EUR SU AUT - 2024
This collector's coin from the Austrian Mint, issued on the occasion of the World Ski Championships in Saalbach 2025, is intended to symbolize the special connection between Austria and skiing. It honors the numerous successes of Austrian female ski racers who have made the country one of the leading skiing nations in the world. The coin is a reminder of the euphoria and sense of community that great sporting successes trigger and bring Austrians together. It also reflects the development of skiing in Austria: from its beginnings as a risky winter sport to a mass phenomenon that is practiced by all social classes.
Hand-hoisted is an Austrian quality term for coins. It means that the coin is individually wrapped immediately after minting to protect its flawless surface. This special treatment guarantees an excellent state of preservation. This silver 1/4 oz coin (925 silver) comes in attractive bilingual packaging. The limited mintage is 50,000 pieces.
The design of the silver coin
The design side shows the head of an athlete. The helmet and ski goggles form the center of the coin. The goggles reflect the athlete's ambitious goal - the world championship title. The underlying surface only shows a shadowy face and invites the viewer to fill in the missing details themselves. The polished surface allows the viewer to see a reflection of the athlete. Snow crystals frame the motif and emphasize the wintry context.
The nine national coats of arms of Austria are arranged in a circle on the value side of the nine-sided coin, accompanied by the issuing country “REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH”. In the center is the face value “5 EURO” represented by a number.
