Future Changes To The National Side of Circulation Coins
The European Commission issued a recommendation on 19 December 2008, a common guideline for the national sides and the issuance of euro coins intended for circulation. Two sections of this recommendation stipulates that:
- Article 2. Identification of the issuing Member State:
- "The national sides of all denominations of the euro coins intended for circulation should bear an indication of the issuing Member State by means of the Member State’s name or an abbreviation of it."
- Article 3. Absence of the currency name and denomination:
- Section 1. "The national side of the euro coins intended for circulation should not repeat any indication of the denomination, or any parts thereof, of the coin, neither should it repeat the name of the single currency or of its subdivision, unless such indication stems from the use of a different alphabet."
A new design on the Austrian euro coins is expected in the near future to comply with these new guidelines, although nothing has officially been announced.

I drew the white sheet over the islands
And the coins on my eyelids sang like shells.”
