Where & when
What's on the note
Front: Moritz Michael Daffinger (1790–1849), renowned Austrian miniature painter and watercolorist of the Biedermeier period. He was celebrated for his exquisite portrait miniatures and became one of the most sought-after portraitists of Viennese high society. The portrait is based on his self-portrait. The Austrian federal eagle appears at upper left, with elaborate guilloche patterns incorporating a stylized peacock feather motif.
Back: The Albertina Museum in Vienna, one of the world's greatest art collections housing over one million prints and 65,000 drawings including works by Dürer, Rembrandt, and Klimt. Founded in 1776 by Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, the museum is housed in the former Taroucca Palace on the Augustinerbastei. The equestrian statue of Archduke Albrecht is visible in front of the building.

Background & history
This 20 Schilling note was part of the final Austrian Schilling series before the country's adoption of the Euro in 2002. The series emphasized Austrian cultural achievements, featuring prominent artists and cultural institutions. Daffinger was chosen to represent Austria's rich artistic heritage, particularly the Biedermeier era's contribution to European art. The Schilling served as Austria's currency from 1925–1938 and again from 1945–2002, interrupted only by the Nazi Reichsmark during the Anschluss period.
