A Legacy of Austrian Excellence
First struck in 1989, the Gold Philharmoniker was originally denominated in 2,000 Austrian schillings. Following Austria's transition to the euro in 2002, the one-ounce coin's denomination was changed to 100 euros. It is minted to the highest standards, embodying Austria's rich cultural heritage and precision craftsmanship.
Iconic Musical Design
The coin's design, created by the Austrian Mint's chief engraver Thomas Pesendorfer, celebrates the universal language of music.
Obverse (Front): Features the magnificent organ from the Golden Hall of Vienna's Musikverein, the legendary concert hall home to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. This organ is the traditional backdrop for the world-famous New Year's Concert. The design includes the inscription "REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH" (Republic of Austria), the gold purity (999.9), the weight (1 UNZE), and the year of issue.
Reverse (Back): Showcases a harmonious ensemble of orchestral instruments: a cello, four violins, a Viennese horn, a bassoon, and a harp. These are arranged below the elegant lettering "WIENER PHILHARMONIKER" (Vienna Philharmonic).
A Resounding Global Success
The design of the Gold Philharmoniker has remained unchanged since its debut, becoming an instantly recognizable brand among investors and numismatists worldwide.
Its success was immediate. By 1990, it became the best-selling gold coin in Europe and the second most popular worldwide. It has frequently been recognized by the World Gold Council as the best-selling bullion coin globally. With millions of ounces sold—equivalent to hundreds of tons of gold—the Vienna Philharmonic Gold Coin stands as a testament to its enduring appeal and trusted value
