The Austrian Mint today released the 2009 Electric Railway 20 Euro Silver Coin. This coin is the fifth of six coins in their "Austrian Railways" series.
Austria first started playing with the concept of electric train service in 1882. From that point on, they were pioneers in the field for decades.
Setbacks during the World Wars did not stop their excitement over electric railways, and the system continues to provide safe and reliable transportation to this day.
With the beautiful Austrian landscape as a background, these coins would make a great addition to anyone's collection. The final coin of the series, entitled "The Railway of the Future" will be released in September of this year.
