One side carries the Austrian eagle with a mural crown, a broken chain, and a sickle and hammer, with REPUBLIK OESTERREICH and the denomination. It is by Martha Coufal-Hartl.
The other shows a mounted knight taken from the equestrian seal of Duke Friedrich II, with banner and shield and the inscription marking 976 to 1976. It is by Gertrude Simon.
Two secondary sources put the mintage at roughly 1.8 million, which is large for a commemorative; we have not found confirmation from the Austrian Mint itself, so treat the figure as approximate. At that scale the coin normally trades on its gold content rather than at a collector premium.
HMRC’s test for gold bullion is a fineness of not less than 900 thousandths. This coin is exactly 900. It clears the threshold, but with nothing to spare — a coin a shade below that line would attract VAT as a collectable rather than being treated as bullion gold.
HMRC treats a coin minted after 1800 as bullion gold if it is at least 900 thousandths fine, is or has been legal tender in its country of origin, and normally sells at no more than 180 per cent of the open market value of its gold (VAT Notice 701/21A). The coin is 900 fine, was Austrian legal tender and is sold close to the gold price, so it meets all three tests.
Capital gains tax is a separate matter. The UK exemption follows sterling legal tender, so it covers Sovereigns and Britannias but not an Austrian coin. This is a statement of the published rule, not tax advice — your own position depends on your circumstances.
How much gold does it contain? 12.15 g of pure gold in a 13.5 g coin at 900 fineness.
Was it struck in other years? No. 1976 is the only date.
Is it still legal tender? No. It was demonetised in February 2002. That does not affect its status as bullion gold, which asks only whether a coin is or has been legal tender.
Is it a rare coin? Not on the mintage figures available, which are around 1.8 million. It normally trades close to its gold value.
