January 22, 2014, Vienna - The 2014 issue of the hugely popular niobium coin from the Austrian Mint will have the theme of evolution and the coin itself will evolve with the newest issue having 2 shades of colour.

Not only did Darwin identify the evolution of animals, now too the Austrian Mint has evolved this ground-breaking bi-metallic coin to be even more extraordinary.

The coin was designed and engraved by Mint engraver Helmut Andexlinger. The obverse of the coin depicts the DNA (deoxyribonucleic,) as well as RNA or ribonucleic acid the vital reader of DNA – the keys to evolution.

The coin’s reverse deals with the history of human development and the diversity of forms of life brought about by evolution.

Since it was founded, the Austrian Mint has united traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology and a tireless quest for innovation. Through the combination of silver and niobium, the Austrian Mint has achieved an internationally recognised innovation. The wonderful colours arise through light refraction on an extremely thin, transparent oxide layer. The niobium core of the 2014 coin has a greenish background and an aqua blue relief. The pioneering use of a two-stage minting procedure to achieve the two-colour effect of its Silver Niobium coin “Evolution” was a challenge, maybe more of a Revolution than an Evolution.

This new two coloured coin is minted to a maximum of 65,000 pieces in Special Uncirculated quality only, the coin contains 9 grams of 900 Fine Silver in its outer ring and 6.5 grams of 998 pure niobium. Each piece is encapsulated, boxed and comes complete with a numbered certificate guaranteeing its authenticity.
