The Austrian Gold Philharmonic coin was first introduced in 1989 by the Austrian Mint (Münze Österreich). It was initially conceptualized as a means to honor Austria’s rich musical heritage, particularly the world-famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The design of the coin prominently features various musical instruments associated with the orchestra.

Design and Features

The obverse side of the coin features the Great Organ of the Musikverein Golden Hall in Vienna, the concert hall where the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra performs. Inscriptions on the obverse typically include the coin’s weight, fineness, face value in Euros, and the year of minting.

The reverse side of the coin displays a selection of musical instruments, including the harp, cello, violin, flute, and French horn, all used by members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Inscriptions usually include the words “Wiener Philharmoniker” along with the coin’s weight in ounces of gold and its purity.

Purity and Specifications

The Austrian Gold Philharmonic coin is struck in 99.99% pure gold, making it one of the highest-purity gold coins available on the market. It weighs precisely 1 troy ounce, with a diameter of 37 mm and a thickness of 2 mm.

Legal Tender Status

Despite its considerable intrinsic value due to its gold content, the Austrian Gold Philharmonic coin holds a nominal face value denominated in Euros, which is significantly lower than its market value. This nominal face value is €100.
