"European satellite navigation"
"The coin’s golden brown niobium core cleverly depicts a compass on the coin’s obverse, with the geographic coordinates
showing the Austrian Mint’s exact location in Vienna etched over the eight cardinal points and year of issue.
The outer silver ring contains both the country of issue (Republik Österreich, Republic of Austria) and face value, while on the
reverse it depicts the different means of transport that make use of satellite navigation – plane, train, ship and motor vehicles – and
bears the inscription “European Satellite Navigation” in German.
The niobium core on this side shows numerous satellites orbiting the globe, their tracks spilling over into the silver ring.
Each coin is encapsulated, boxed and comes complete with a numbered certificate guaranteeing its authenticity."
