Land des Wassers 

On the occasion of the "World Water Year 2013" – proclaimed by UNESCO – all nature lovers have the chance to purchase the 5 Euro silver coin "Land of Water". Water is our most important livelihood. In addition, its power also serves to gain valuable energy. The responsibility that comes with this precious resource is obvious: to preserve it in the best quality for future generations.

Water is also part of our natural landscape. Thus, on the first side of the coin, a grey heron dominates the image in the middle of a water landscape. The majestic bird is easily recognizable by its body shape. At least as typical and often to be admired on the shores of a lake are water lilies and reeds. The water snake, right next to the trout in the foreground, is a non-poisonous dice snake. Its population is highly endangered and is therefore protected in Austria.

On the value side, the coats of arms of all nine Austrian provinces are arranged around the face value. This representation gives the 5 Euro coin its characteristic nine-sided appearance.
