Gold coins Vienna Philharmonic
Investors have many ways to buy gold. With options ranging from gold bars, sovereign mints to bullion and gold coins, the Austrian Gold Coins Vienna Philharmonic is one of the most popular gold coins in the world. In 1989 this gold coin was issued by the Austrian Mint.
To celebrate the art and culture of a nation
In 1989, the Austrian Mint issued the Vienna Philharmonic gold coins for the first time. When it first came out, the Vienna Philharmonic gold coins were only available in 1 ounce gold and 1/4 ounce gold options. Over time, the Austrian Mint added the following options to the collection (first vintage):
- 1/10 Troy oz (1991)
- 1/2 Troy oz (1994)
- 1/25 Troy oz (2014)
The designs of the Austrian gold coin series focus on the Vienna Philharmonic. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the finest orchestras in the world, was officially founded in 1842. However, unofficial orchestral performances date back to the early 1830s in Vienna, the capital of Austria.
Vienna Philharmonic Gold Coins Coin Designs
The Austrian Mint commissioned master engraver Thomas Pesendorfer to design the official gold bullion coin. In 1989, Pesendorfer created a design that reflected the cultural pride Austrians feel for their beloved orchestra. The following details highlight the design of the gold coins Vienna Philharmonic in gold:
- Obverse: All gold coins Vienna Philharmonic have on the obverse an image of the great organ of the orchestra. Also known as the Golden Concert Hall, this is the venue where the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra performs in Vienna. On this side of the coin are engravings in German, the native language of Austria and the words “Republic of Austria”, “ounce of gold 9999” and the weight of the coin and the year of issue.
- Reverse: The reverse of the Vienna Philharmonic gold coins features various musical instruments used by members of the Vienna Philharmonic. This includes two violins on either side and a large cello in the middle. The engravings on this page are also in German.
Like the American Golden Eagle and the Canadian Golden Maple Leaf, the designs of the Vienna Philharmonic gold coins never change. The Austrian Mint has been using these designs since 1989 and each has become so popular that the Austrian Silver Philharmonic (2008) and Austrian Platinum Philharmonic (2016) mints are still in print.

- 1 ounce: 2,000 shillings
- 1/2 ounce: 1,000 shillings
- 1/4 ounce: 500 shillings

More Austrian gold coins
