0.0000 troy oz 2026 Uncirculated

The Austrian Mint presents a fascinating exploration of legend with this 2026 cupro-nickel coin dedicated to the hippocampus. This mythical sea creature, part horse and part fish, is brought to life through innovative minting techniques. The reverse of the coin captures the beast emerging from the waves, surrounded by detailed ocean flora like coral and seaweed. Vibrant color effects and a special glow-in-the-dark feature make the design truly magical, allowing the creature to shine even in the dark. On the obverse, the coin displays a symbolic key and a radiant sunburst design, alongside the letter F. With a face value of 3 Euros and a limited production of 65,000 pieces, this brilliant uncirculated release highlights the intersection of folklore and modern coin design.
