There are other Austrian composer coins that I do not have in my collection as yet. Among these are:
Mozart, Grinzing District of Austria 200 Guilden 1991 X3 Tn9
Mozart 1000 Schillings Mozart Gold, Magic Flute KM-2999
Strauss, 1000 Schillings Schubert Gold KM 3008
Richard Strauss, 500 Schillings KM-3021
2003 Mint Set with Mozart on the folder cover…and I’m sure there are others that I have missed completely.
Thank you, Peter, for pointing out the Fanny Elssler Coin (KM-2969) as I will hunt to add this piece to my collection at some point.
If anyone is interested, Austria has other “music related” coins of which I have a few. For example, the Vienna Boys Choir KM-3047, and if you like, I will look through my lists for other Austrian MUSIC/Musician coins. I know they made pieces on famous conductors, theaters and opera houses, national heroes that are musically affiliated and so on. I’d be glad to check my lists and post the information here if there is any interest. Also, I have my collection of worldwide composer coins if there is any interest. I’d be glad to share and especially to have the opportunity to “talk” with other music coin collectors. I believe we are a rather rare breed.
Thank you again, Figleaf!
