Robin Hood (2019) - 1 Oz - Silver Collector Coin

Like many other mints, the Austrian Mint (Münze Österreich) issued silver investment coins in the internationally popular format of one troy ounce (1 oz) of silver. The most famous of these is the Vienna Philharmonic type, but the mint also issues other designs. The coins have a face value of €1.5; because they are not in standard circulation denominations (from 1 euro cent to €2), they are legal tender only in Austria, not in the entire euro area. As with all investment coins, however, their intrinsic value is based primarily on the metal content and its current price on the commodity markets.

This coin is part of a mini-series celebrating the 825th anniversary of the Vienna Mint.

The Mint says of it:

The three coins celebrating the 825th anniversary of the Vienna Mint are all associated with the ransom paid to Duke Leopold V of Austria for the release of King Richard the Lionheart of England in 1194. They also all contain one ounce of pure silver, the precious metal that was used to pay the huge ransom.
