Anton Karl Rudolf Scharff (born June 10, 1845 in Vienna, † July 5, 1903 in Brunn am Gebirge) was an Austrian medalist.
Anton Scharff was the son of the medalist and stone cutter Johann Michael Scharff (born November 11, 1806 in Hüttelsdorf, † May 22, 1855 in Vienna).
From 1860 he studied at the Vienna Academy with Carl Radnitzky.
In 1862 he was a student at the engraving academy in the main mint under Joseph Daniel Böhm.
In 1866 he was an engraver assistant, two years later he was appointed k.k.
Coin engraver appointed.
From 1881 he was director and from 1896 director of the Viennese engraving academy, whereby in this function he made special contributions to the art of Viennese medalists, as these experienced a heyday and renewal in those years thanks to Scharff's work.
The kroner currency coins were created by him in 1892.
