Hauptmünzamt, Vienna, Historical mint building in Landstraße, Austria.

The Hauptmünzamt features three rounded entrance portals framed by columns, supporting a balcony with iron railings on its primary facade.

The Austrian Mint, established in 1194, initially produced coins using silver from the Danube River during the financial needs of the Babenberg dynasty.

The facade displays relief figures of Roman deities symbolizing different metals, with a figure group featuring the goddesses Justitia and Fortuna atop the attic wall.

The building houses exhibition spaces displaying an extensive collection of coining dies, coins, and medals dating back to the 16th century.

The mint produces the Vienna Philharmonic bullion coin, introduced in 1989, which has become one of the most recognized gold coins worldwide.
