Austrian silver coins

Florins, thalers, crowns and schillings in silver and billon

This selection follows circulating silver and billon types included in the catalogue, from the florin to the schilling. Fineness distinguishes different alloys; a coin’s total weight is not its fine silver content. Gold issues and collectors’ commemoratives are not included in this selection.
