| Obverse description | Central field depicts a scene of the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as a child prodigy, shown standing beside a harpsichord or keyboard instrument with an adult figure (likely his father Leopold) in attendance, rendered in high relief. The composition commemorates Mozart's celebrated 1763 European tour. The inscription 'DAS WUNDERKIND' (The Wonder Child) with the date '1763' appears in the upper central field. The circular legend reads 'ECU ÖSTERREICH ECU' along the upper periphery and 'WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART' along the lower periphery in Latin script. The entire design is executed on a polished, gold-plated surface with fine detail. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a crossed violin and trumpet, symbolising Mozart's musical legacy, entwined with decorative rose branches in full bloom, all rendered in high relief on a polished field. Twelve stars arranged in a circular band around the inner border evoke the European motif of the ECU coinage series. The mint mark 'CHI' appears in a small cartouche at the lower centre of the field. The legend 'AUSTRIA' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'SERVUS EUROPA' — a Viennese salutation — curves along the lower periphery, both separated by the beaded border. |
