Austrian 500 Schilling Coins
The 500 Schilling Coins that were struck for circulation 1980-1988 (34 examples), are large Silver
Coins and exhibit many interesting designs.  For all practical purposes though they didn't circulate.
 There also have been many non-circulating 500 Schilling Commemoratives issued.  The 500
Schilling coin can still be redeemed for somewhere between $45-$55 US and that makes them a
little expensive to collect on my coin budget (I have a lot of other coin interests to support).

The 1980-1982 500 Schilling coins are .640 Silver, weigh 24g and are 38mm in diameter.

The 1983-1988 500 Schilling coins are .925 Silver, weigh 24g and are 37mm in diameter.
