The Austrian Mint, founded in 1194, is one of the oldest in the world. It is said that the first coins struck at the Austrian Mint were produced with 15 tonnes of silver paid to Duke Leopold V of Austria by England’s King Richard the Lionheart as his troops traveled through the region while returning from the Crusades.
