When the Austrian Mint introduced the Gold Philharmonic coins in 1989, the series featured only a 1 oz and 1/4 oz coin. This was a unique approach in the collection when compared to programs such as the American Gold Eagle that debuted with all four current available weights offered from the outset. Today, 2019 1/4 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coins are available to you online from JM Bullion.

The 1/4 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coin is one of the two original gold coins introduced 30 years ago by the Austrian Mint. The 1 oz and 1/4 oz coins were alone for three years prior to the introduction of the 1/10 oz coin in 1991 and the 1/2 oz coin in 1994. Today, the 1/4 oz coin is one of five options gold buyers have in the Austrian Gold Philharmonic collection.

The coins are available to purchase individually inside of protective plastic packaging or in bulk inside of mint tubes that contain 30 coins in total. This is the 30th anniversary year of the Austrian Gold Philharmonic and is sure to become a popular date mark in the future.
On the obverse side of 2019 Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coins, you’ll find the depiction of the Great Organ found inside the Musikverein Golden Concert Hall in Vienna.

Founded in 1194, the Austrian Mint is one of Europe’s oldest operating mint facilities. It was founded with silver paid to Duke Leopold V by Richard the Lionheart of England. Today it strikes the Austrian Philharmonic Coins along with circulation euros for the nation.
