The 2016 Austrian 2 euro commemorative coin marks the 200th anniversary of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank, the central bank of Austria. The national side features a stylized representation of the bank's headquarters in Vienna, highlighting its architectural significance and historical role in the nation's financial stability. Flanking the building are symbols representing the bank's core functions, including the Austrian eagle, which serves as a national emblem of sovereignty and institutional strength. By commemorating this bicentennial, the design reflects the long-standing importance of the institution in managing the country's monetary policy and economic development since its founding in 1816. This issue was released in 2016 with a mintage of 16,000,000 coins.
