The Austrian 2 euro coin features a portrait of Bertha von Suttner, a prominent figure in the history of the nation and a pioneer of the international peace movement. As the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905, her image serves as a poignant reminder of Austria's commitment to diplomacy and humanitarian values. The portrait is encircled by the twelve stars of the European Union, representing the unity and shared ideals of the member states. Below the portrait, the denomination is clearly displayed alongside the national flag colours represented through heraldic hatching. This design has become a familiar symbol of Austrian identity within the eurozone. The 2017 standard issue coin was produced with a mintage of 17,700,000 pieces.
