The 1000 Austrian schilling note front design features the portrait of Karl Landsteiner (1868 – 1943), was an Austrian biologist, physician, and also immunologist, who distinguished the main blood groups in 1900, which allowed the modern blood group classification system to be developed. In 1937, Alexander S. Wiener and Karl Landsteiner identified the Rhesus factor, a significant advance that allowed doctors to transfuse blood without endangering the patient’s life.
