Each of the 1998 1 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coins available here comes with a protective plastic flip. The 1998 Gold Philharmonic had a total mintage that was among the higher-minted coins in the 1990s. Demand for the coins would fall for consecutive years over the course of the next decade.

One notable feature of the 1998 Austrian Gold Philharmonic is the face value. From 1989 to 2001, the Gold Philharmonic was originally issued with denominations in the Austrian schilling. Starting in 2002, the denomination switched to Euros.

On the obverse side of the 1 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coins there is a depiction of a pipe organ. This magnificent instrument is a rendition of the actual organ found in at Weiner Musikverein, which is home to the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra.
