1999 Austrian Gold 200 Schilling – PCGS Gem Uncirculated, WTC Ground Zero Recovery

This 1999 Austrian Gold 200 Schilling coin is minted from 1/10 oz of .9999 fine gold -- Recovered from the ashes of Ground Zero, this coin is more than a collector’s item—it is a testament to survival and hope. The vault beneath the World Trade Center held this coin through the destruction of 9/11, and its recovery was a symbol of resilience in the wake of tragedy. Today, it stands as both a numismatic treasure and a historical artifact, carrying with it the legacy of one of the most pivotal moments in modern history.

This coin is part of the WTC Ground Zero Recovery collection, certified by PCGS after being recovered from an underground vault beneath the ruins of the World Trade Center following the September 11, 2001 attacks. Its provenance as a WTC recovery coin adds immense historical and emotional significance, making it a tangible symbol of resilience in the face of tragedy. The PCGS holder with the "WTC Ground Zero Recovery" label ensures the coin's authenticity and commemorates its extraordinary history.
