Austria's 200-Schilling silver issues were produced from the 1980s onward as part of a long-running commemorative program that predated the euro transition but survived well into it as collector pieces denominated in a currency that had already ceased to circulate. When Austria adopted the euro in 2002, outstanding Schilling-denominated coins remained legal tender briefly before conversion, though commemoratives of this type were rarely seen in circulation regardless.
