Each of the Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coins in this product listing is a Brilliant Uncirculated specimen. Coins in BU condition exhibit no signs of wear and tear, though you may notice minor flaws such as breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks from the coining process. JM Bullion cannot guarantee the specific year of issue you’ll receive with your purchase, but can note that all coins will come from the mintage range of 2008 to 2016.
Austrian Silver Philharmonic coins have experienced extensive growth in popularity since their introduction, becoming the most popular silver bullion coin program in continental Europe. Following an initial release of 7.73 million in 2008, mintage soared consecutively through 2011 to a high of 17.8 million that year.
The Austrian Silver Philharmonic’s obverse design depicts the pipe organ found inside the Musikverein concert hall in the Innere Stadt neighborhood of Vienna, the national capital of Austria.
On the reverse of all Austrian Silver Philharmonic coins is the image of numerous musical instruments used by members of the orchestra. Included in the design are a harp, violin, cello, flute, bassoon, and French horn. Both designs came from Thomas Pesendorfer, Chief Engraver of the Austrian Mint. He created these images originally in 1989 for the Austrian Gold Philharmonic coin program.
The Austrian Mint is the official sovereign mint of the nation of Austria. Though it produces Austrian Silver Philharmonic coins with a face value in Euros and strikes commonzone currency for the economic bloc, these coins are not recognized as legal tender outside of Austria.

These coins are just as beautiful as their gold counterpart. I just purchased 4 of gold coins and loved them so much I ordered 2 of the Silver ones. I like the random year option because you never know what year you are going to get. Coins arrived in excellent BU condition. Shipping was fast as promised. Will be back soon for more. Thanks JM Bullion!

Love these coins! Ordered 15 and jmbullion included an original mint tube! Nice!!! These are some of the most beautiful silver coins produced by any mint. Lower premium than ASE’s. Will be getting more of these as core coin for the stack for sure.

My collection consisted of all 90% or generic rounds and bars so I decided I wanted to start adding some diversity with some government minted coins. I ordered a tube of the Philharmonics as my first government mints and I must say I love them. Once the check had processed, they arrived quickly and in great condition. They are a beautiful coin and a great addition to any silver stacker’s collection!
