    Complete 2019 Austria 3-Coin 825th Mint Anniversary Set
    3 - 1 oz 0.999 BU Silver Coins
    This brilliant new Anniversary three-coin series from the Austrian Mint beautifully illustrates the founding of the Vienna Mint and helps recreate the fascinating story.
    In 1191, two crusaders, Duke Leopold V of Austria and King Richard ‘The Lionheart’ of England, got into an argument during the capture of the city of Acre. In December 1192, on his way back home from the Holy Land, Richard was taken prisoner by Leopold on the outskirts of Vienna. The huge ransom in Silver, which Leopold managed to extort from the English people in return for Richard’s release, led to the origin of the legend of Robin Hood. Leopold used the Silver to found both the stronghold of Wiener Neustadt and the original Mint in Vienna.
    Reverse #1:  Portrays Duke Leopold V of Vienna ready for battle.
    Reverse #2:  Portrays the original Burg Wiener Neustadt, the first castle
    in Wiener Neustadt built in 1193-1194.
    Reverse #3:  Features the ‘King of Thieves’, Robin Hood.
    Obverse of each coin: Features a crusader on horseback, part of Leopold's crusade.
    Coins are carefully removed from Mint tubes and placed in
    direct fit capsules for lasting enjoyment.
    I have multiple, different, silver coins from around the world
