Those of you who collect or are familiar with Austrian coins will remember that this theme - Wiedereröffnung der Bundestheater - was also used for the very first commem of the Second Republic: the 25 schilling coin that came out in 1955. The new piece is a silver €10 coin and comes in three versions, "circulation quality", BU and proof. The CQ version can be had at face value in Austria.
