The daffodil delicately raises its calyx to the light, surrounded by a wreath of radiant petals. As one of the first harbingers of spring, it brings color to nature after the cold winter months and lifts our spirits. Thus, it becomes a symbol of light, hope, and new beginnings.
All this is embodied in the nine-sided 5-euro “Daffodils” coin, which is available in silver and copper.
Flower of beauty, symbol of self-knowledge
The daffodil is not only beautiful to look at—it is a flower with a story. Greek mythology tells the story of Narcissus, the beautiful youth who falls in love with his own reflection and is destroyed by it. His story warns against self-love, but can also be interpreted differently: as an invitation to self-discovery. Those who recognize and embrace their own light gain true self-confidence—not from arrogance, but from healthy self-esteem.
At the same time, the daffodil embodies the eternal cycle of nature. It blooms anew each year, reminding us that life is full of opportunities—a symbol of new beginnings.
A sea of flowers to celebrate
In the Ausseerland region, the daffodil is duly celebrated every year: At the Daffodil Festival, Austria's largest flower festival, the delicate bloom of the white daffodil takes center stage. The highlight of the multi-day festival is the magnificent procession of artistic flower sculptures. The figures, crafted with great attention to detail—from animals to mythical creatures to traditional motifs—first parade through the streets before gliding gently over the lake. In addition to the daffodil, the celebration also includes a celebration of togetherness and the region's rich traditions.
The coin images
The coin depicts four daffodil blossoms. They represent the three species native to Austria:
- Star daffodil ( Narcissus radiiflorus ) – pictured left
- Poet's Daffodil , also called White Daffodil ( Narcissus poeticus ) – in the middle
- Yellow daffodil , also called spring snowflake ( Narcissus pseudonarcissus ) – the two flowers on the right
On the value side of the nine-sided coin, the nine national coats of arms of Austria are arranged in a circle.
A brilliant spring gift
With this coin, you hold the magic of the daffodil in your hands – a lasting symbol of light, new beginnings, and beauty. Whether as a radiant eye-catcher in your Easter basket or as a lasting addition to a spring bouquet, the daffodil coin brightens every moment.
