1 oz Austrian Philharmonic BU (Dates Vary)

History

The Austrian Mint entered the world of international gold bullion coins in 1989. Seeing the success of such countries as South Africa, Canada, China, and the United States, Austria decided to join the fray. But unlike numerous other countries, the Austrian Mint decided to create a coin unlike any others. Most countries used some type of animal or national symbol on their coins, but Austria chose musical instruments as their theme. The coin honors Vienna as a great center of music and it also honors the world-renowned Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

Design

The obverse of this beautiful coin is a rendition of the Great Organ, which is in the Golden Hall in Vienna’s Concert Hall. The obverse also displays the date, the face value, and the weight of the coin. The reverse of the coin depicts a number of beautifully detailed musical instruments including a violin, a harp, a cello, and a bassoon.
Between 1989 and 2001, the denomination displayed on the coin was 2,000 Austrian Schillings, but in 2002, when the Euro was introduced to the world, the new denomination on the One Troy Ounce coin was 100 Euros. Due to the purity and quality of manufacturing, these gold Austrian Philharmonic coins qualify for inclusion in IRA Precious Metal Accounts.
