- Rating: MS64 (NGC).

Commemorative coin issued after the death of Engelbert Dollfuss, federal chancellor of Austria assassinated in 1934, a key figure of the Austrofascist period preceding the Anschluss. The obverse features a sober and realistic portrait of Dollfuss, in a right-facing profile, with good modeling of facial features and natural treatment of the hair, while the reverse shows the Austrian double-headed eagle with central shield, symbol of the federal state. The specimen retains an attractive original tone with residual luster visible in the fields and reliefs, showing slight contact marks consistent with the MS64 grade. A piece of notable historical and political interest within Austrian numismatics of the interwar period.
