The 2015 Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coin is the newest offering from the Austrian Mint in Vienna. Each coin in this collection has been certified by the NGC to be a perfect MS70 and includes coins from the first 30 days of minting. Aside from their perfect grade, each coin also contains 1 troy ounce of .999 pure silver.

Few coins experience the type of meteoric rise in popularity that the Austrian Silver Philharmonic has enjoyed. First released in 2008, the Austrian Silver Philharmonic coin is already one of the most sought after by collectors in Europe, and is experiencing increasing demand overseas in North America and Japan.

The Austrian Silver Philharmonic coin was introduced in 2008, but its gold counterpart had already been in production for 19 years. The Austrian Mint tapped its chief engraver, Thomas Pesendorfer, to design an image for each side of the coin that adequately represented the grandeur and melody of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Pesendorfer created a design that depicted the pipe organ in the Musikverein Golden Hall in Vienna, and a cornucopia of musical instruments for the other side.

Each of these 2015 Austrian Silver Philharmonic coins has an MS70 grade from the NGC. Coins with an MS70 grade have an attractive, sharp strike on the mint mark and year of minting, and feature no blemishes on the coin’s surface. The Early Release labels designate that the coins were received by NGC within the first 30 days of the coin’s release.

Each 2015 Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coin has a face value listed in Euros. These are the only silver bullion coins in Europe struck with face values in Euros. Despite this, the coins only enjoy legal-tender status in Austria.
