The Austrian 2 euro standard circulation coin features a portrait of Bertha von Suttner, a prominent figure in the history of the nation and a global advocate for peace. As a novelist and radical pacifist, she became the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905, an achievement that remains a cornerstone of Austria’s commitment to international diplomacy and humanitarian efforts. The design elegantly frames her profile, symbolising the country’s enduring dedication to the ideals of reconciliation and social progress. Her likeness serves as a reminder of the intellectual contributions Austria has made to the modern world. This standard issue was minted in 2011 with a total mintage of 27,700,000 pieces.
