Happy New Year! This is the motto of this year’s 5-Euro New Year coin 2018“Löwenkraft“, which shows a magnificent lion. The gift of new year coins made of silver and copper as a lucky charm for the coming year will continue with this 5-euro coin in a beautiful tradition.

Traditionally, at the turn of the year, we combine a confident look into the future with a curious one in the past. For this reason, we go back 650 years to the history of Austria on the occasion of the New Year’s coin 2018.

Deep in the Middle Ages, we encounter the shining example of a mischievously smiling lion; his face framed by pretty curls. He stands for strength, courage and confidence. In short? “Lion power”.

This charming face comes from the splendid booklet of the gospel book completed by Johannes von Troppau in 1368, which can be seen as a magnificent codex in the Austrian National Library, written entirely in gold. Especially as he represents the oldest surviving manuscript, which was in Habsburg possession. The Codex is considered the very first book of the Austrian National Library, celebrating its 650th anniversary in 2018.

It is a nice idea to know that thousands of descendants of this particular lion move out at New Year’s Eve to bring joy of life to the people and to act as good luck charms and power donors.

As with all previous Austrian 5-euro coins, the nine coat of arms are arranged on the value side of the nine-cornered coin.

The silver coin in the quality Hand lifted is available in the blister for 18.60 euros ($22.09 USD; including 20% ​​VAT), the copper coin is available for a nominal value of 5 euros ($5.94 USD).
