In 1194, Duke Leopold V of Austria received an extraordinary payment of 15 tonnes of silver from the legendary Richard the Lionheart, securing his release from captivity. This marked the birth of minting in Vienna, as Duke Leopold decided to mint coins from this treasure.
The Vienna Mint, although not officially named for centuries, embarked on a remarkable journey through time and locations, from the Hoher Markt to Wollzeile and Himmelpfortgasse.
In the 19th century, the Austrian Mint found its permanent home at Heumarkt in Vienna. With the Republic of Austria’s formation in 1919, it became the nation’s exclusive mint, representing Austrian heritage.
In 1989, the mint became a subsidiary of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank, leading to its rebranding as the Münze Österreich, or “Austrian Mint.” This transformation propelled it to global recognition.
Today, the Austrian Mint is a global leader in numismatics, crafting coins sought after by collectors, investors, and those seeking meaningful gifts. Each coin represents centuries of tradition, artistry, and craftsmanship.
