Vienna Philharmonic - Austria 1 oz gold coin

In addition to the classic gold investment coins such as Maple Leaf, Gold Eagle and Krugerrand, the Vienna Philharmonic should not be missing from any investment package.

The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra has been produced by the Austrian Mint since 1989 on behalf of the Austrian government. Its rapidly increasing popularity is mainly due to the fact that the Philharmonic is the first European gold coin with a fineness of 999.9/1000.

Although it also has a large fan base outside the European Union, its face value of 100 EURO makes it particularly popular with European investors.

But the “Vienna” has only had this value since the introduction of the euro in 2002, as it previously had a nominal value of 2,000 schillings.

The proximity of the mint is also a plus for the Philharmonic. The short transport routes and the fact that the Austrian Mint also has its own refinery ensure sufficient and quick deliveries.

The Vienna Philharmonic owes its name to the well-known Austrian orchestra, which is one of the best in the world.

The gold coin shows the large organ of the Vienna Music Association on the front.

The weight of 1oz, the fineness of 999.9, the year of issue and the face value of 100 EURO are stamped below the organ. Above it you can see the embossed lettering “REPUBLIK AUSTRIA”.

On the back, some of the Philharmonic's musical instruments are depicted and at the top edge is the name of the orchestra and the gold coin, “WIENER PHILHARMONIKER”. Similar to the gold bullion coins mentioned above, the Vienna Philharmonic is also available in sizes 1/2oz, 1/4oz and 1/10oz.
