Design details

Reverse

A knighthood being conferred by a king to a kneeling squire in the form of the accolade, also known as the dubbing ceremony.

Collector insights

  • Design heritage: Helmut Andexlinger, Herbert Wähner, Kathrin Kuntner is credited as the designer for the Non-circulating coin series. Designer attribution helps distinguish this issue from later restrikes or unofficial copies that reuse only the motif.
  • Struck at: Austrian Mint (Münze Österreich), Vienna, Austria. Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels.
  • Low mintage: Only 30,000 pieces reported. This puts the issue into key-date territory for its series; expect steep grade-based price scaling and a higher counterfeit risk — provenance and third-party grading matter.
  • Precious metal content: Silver (.925) — bullion value provides a price floor, and many circulated examples were melted during the 1979–1980 and post-2010 silver spikes, reducing the surviving population.
  • Catalogue reference: Listed as KM# 3211.a1. Use this reference code when cross-checking auction archives, dealer inventories, and standard printed catalogues.
