Gold Vienna Philharmonic

The Austrian Philharmonic or Vienna Philharmonic gold bullion coin was the most popular gold coin in the 1990’s and is still among the world’s best sellers.

General Details

Perhaps the most successful investment coin on the market, the Gold Vienna Philharmonic is available again, but it may not be for long, if the market is any indication.

Statistics from the World Gold Council indicate that this coin was the best-selling coin in the world in 1992, 1995, 1996 and 2000. Containing a whole ounce of pure 24 karat gold, and backed by the Austrian Mint‘s reliable guarantee, the Vienna Philharmonic is one of the rare and truly classic offerings that will simply never go out of style.

Details and Background of the Gold Vienna Philharmonic coin

The coin is one troy ounce of 24 karat gold (.9999 pure), with a face value of 100 euros. Designed by the formidable Thomas Pesendorfer, chief engraver of the Austrian Mint, the obverse side of the coin depicts the iconic pipe organ from the Goldener Saal of the Musikverein Concert Hall in Vienna, home to the famous Philharmonic. The reverse side sports a kind of bouquet arrangement of classical instruments — four violins, cello, bassoon and harp — honed to a crisp and satisfying detail.

Debuting in 1998, the coin immediately took the market by storm. Despite this early success, the coin could easily have never been struck in the first place: It took a change in Austrian law earlier that year, which newly legalized the circulation of pure gold coins on the open market, to lead to the minting of this now-historic coin. The theme of the Vienna Philharmonic was chosen as the perfect way symbolize Austria as a whole.
