Austria

2017

This commemorative gold coin was issued by the Austrian Mint in 2017 as part of a series honoring influential Austrian intellectuals. The coin is dedicated to Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis and one of the most significant figures in modern psychology. One side features a detailed portrait of Freud with identifying inscriptions, while the reverse presents an allegorical scene symbolizing introspection, human relationships, and the unconscious mind—central themes of Freud’s work. Struck in fine gold with a denomination of 50 Euro, the coin reflects Austria’s contribution to the development of psychological science and modern thought.
