On the obverse of all Austrian Philharmonic coins is the image of the Great Organ, a pipe organ located inside of the Musikverein. Known as the Golden Hall, the Musikverein is home to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and is located in the Innere Stadt borough of Vienna, the national capital.
The reverse of the 2018 1 oz Austrian Platinum Philharmonic Coin features a selection of musical instruments used by the members of the orchestra. Included in the design you’ll see a cello, four violins, a harp, bassoon, and Vienna horn. The design of the Austrian Philharmonic coins came from Thomas Pesendorfer, Chief Engraver of the Austrian Mint, in 1989.
Founded in 1194 by Duke Leopold V, the Austrian Mint is the official sovereign mint of the nation and is a subsidiary of the National Bank of Austria.
