Back with another Austrian coin from my collection. Unfortunately, some idiot that owned it before me had the genius idea to polish with sandpaper or something and really fucked up the obverse:
Yeah, the coin has seen some better days 😄
The guy depicted is Carl Michael Ziehrer:
Carl Michael Ziehrer (more rarely spelled Karl Michael Ziehrer) (2 May 1843 – 14 November 1922) was an Austrian composer. In his lifetime, he was one of the fiercest rivals of the Strauss family; most notably Johann Strauss II and Eduard Strauss. source
Never heard of him before getting the coin, but he had a cool mustache I will give him that:
This is a commemorative coin issued in 1972 for the 50th Anniversary since his death.
Like the other Austrian coins I have shown you the reverse is pretty standard:
Here we have the flags of the various Austrian states, the denomination (25 schillings) and in Latin it reads
REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH
For
Republic of Austria
Fortunately this side is in much better condition. I guess whoever started polishing figured they are a dumbass midway through
And finally, moving on the edge..
FUENFUNDZWANZIG SCHILLING
For
Twenty Five Shillings
Yeah, just the denomination. Not much creativity here 😅
When it comes to silver we have a decent purity of 0.800 with a total weight of 13 g. That's 10.5 of pure silver with a today's melting value of ~ 8.2 g.
This piece is not among my favorites that's for sure, and I guess it fits more someone that is a fun of the guy. The only reason I picked it was because it was close to spot :)
Ok, time to put this baby back to its plastic prison:
I guess it's fitting to close this post with some music by Ziehrer
Ok plebs, see you soon with more silver!

Well that is quite a coin to have.
Love the way you bring put all these people back to life.
The way you research and bring historic figures back to life on the blockchain.
I have some coins of my own and should be doing some documentation too.
Sounds like a good idea. If they are old, some may be silver too!

Nice! I guess the trick to getting your own coin is to have a coo mustache. I can do that....
Interesting history, I had heard his name before, but that was about the extent of my knowledge. Nice coin!

Now that's a moustache worth of a coin !
This is really looking a golden coin to behold
Nice coin, too bad the previous owner didn't use the brain wasn't it better to buy a coin cleaner.
Sandpaper to something like that, possibly he didn't know what he was doing hahaha, that's what they say even in court when someone does something stupid and makes an idiotic face to convince the judge, the point is that sometimes it works
Nice coins. It sucks to hear that the coins got damaged by someone sanding down the coins. Did you get a discount when you bought them due to that?
Every day like this I see many people's posts, they collect the special ones and share them with all of us, so it's nice to see.
