Gold Philharmonic 1 oz -

The Viennese Gold Philharmonic is an Austrian gold coin which is issued by Münze Österreich since 1989. The Gold Philharmonic is the second bullion coin made of gold after the Gold Britannia and is a legal tender. Since the currency change in 2002, the coin is no longer issued in Schilling, but in Euro. This coin remains the only bullion coin in Europe with a nominal value in Euro. The Gold Philharmonic has a fineness of 999,9. Initially the coin was issued in 1 ounce and 1/4 ounce, now it is available in 1/2 ounce,1/10 ounce and since 2014 in 1/25 ounce. The selling price floats with the up-to-date gold prices in addition to a small surcharge. The Gold Philharmonic is of particular importance especially in North America and Japan. Since 2008, the Vienna Philharmonic is also available in silver, and since 2016 also in platinum. Design of the Gold Coin The motif on the gold coin is always the same apart from the year of mint: The front of the Vienna Philharmonic gold coin features the famous big pipe organ of the golden hall at the Wiener Musikverein. The reverse features instruments of the Viennese orchestra — a horn, a bassoon, a harp, four violins and a cello in the middle.
