The Vienna Philharmonic coin in one-ounce gold (Troy ounce): The king of investment coins and the best-selling size. First introduced in 1989 along with the 1/4 ounce version, it contains a whole ounce of gold (31.1 grams). The Troy ounce is the precious metal trade’s unit of weight and the classic weight for bullion coins. It has a face value of 100 Euro.First issued in October 1989, the Vienna Philharmonic gold coin is Europe’s most successful investment coin. According to the World Gold Council, it was the best selling gold coin in the world in 1992, 1995, 1996 and 2000. Given its success, it is strange to think that the coin in its present design may never have seen the light of day.History and design of the coinFrom November 1998 on, a change in Austrian law permitted the issue of pure gold coins for investment purposes. This is how the idea came about to design a gold coin that symbolized Austria. Numerous possible themes for the coin were discussed until finally the vote was given to music, a harmonious ambassador whose language is understood the world over. And what better to symbolize music than the world famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra?The coin was designed by Thomas Pesendorfer, the Austrian Mint’s chief engraver. For the reverse side he chose eight characteristic orchestral instruments: four violins either side of a cello in the foreground and the Viennese horn, the bassoon and the harp behind. The obverse side features the famous pipe organ from the Goldener Saal of the Viennese Musikverein, recognized throughout the world as the backdrop to the Philharmonic’s New Year concerts. The organ case was designed by the architect Theophil von Hansen, who was responsible for the whole building. The original organ was built by Friedrich Ladegast in 1872 and since then the organ has been renovated and replaced on various occasions, the last being in 2011. Visually, the body of the organ remains unchanged despite technical alterations. Above the organ, the words “Republik Oesterreich” stand in a semi-circle, while the weight and purity of the coin, with the date of issue below, stand beneath the balustrade of the organ. At the bottom edge of the coin appears its face value. The edge of the coin is reeded. The coin’s enduring motif has contributed to its attractiveness internationally. It has also been a strong seller on the domestic market.
The designs on the Austrian Philharmonic Silver Coins predate the 2008 introduction of the silver bullion version of the coins. Both the obverse and reverse designs were created in 1989 by Thomas Pesendorfer, Chief Engraver of the Austrian Mint, for the gold bullion version of the coins.Austrian Philharmonic 1 oz Silver Coins were introduced in 2008. The gold bullion version of the coin came in 1989 with 1 oz and 1/4 oz coins available and would gain two more weights of 1/2 oz and 1/10 oz before the introduction of the Austrian Philharmonic Silver Coins. After the 2008 introduction of the silver coins and the expansion of the 1/25 oz gold coin in 2014, the Austrian Mint revealed an Austrian Philharmonic Platinum Coin in 2016 to expand the series to three metallic options.
