The exquisite Gold Philharmonic bullion coin celebrates one of Austria’s most cherished cultural assets — the Wiener Philharmoniker or Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, a classical ensemble that is widely regarded as one of the best in the world. Minted in fine 9999 gold bullion with exceptional attention to detail, this gold bullion coin is among the world’s most popular (especially in Europe).
The gold bullion coin’s design pays homage to Austria’s rich history of musical excellence and its invaluable contributions to the Western classical corpus. The reverse surface depicts a harmonious assortment of musical instruments, including a string bass, cellos, violins, a bassoon, a harp and a Viennese horn. In addition to the face value, fineness and year of issue, the obverse surface bears an image of the great organ of the Musikverein concert hall, the home of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
Originally denominated in schillings, the Gold Philharmonic Coin is now the only bullion coin denominated in euros donning a 100 Euro legal tender face value although they are traded based on their gold content and fluctuating world gold prices.
*Although these Gold Philharmonic Coins MintFirst have never been circulated, the soft nature of their .9999 gold bullion purity does make this product susceptible to minor imperfections during the minting and transportation cycle. There is no guarantee associated with the absolute mint nor grade of the coin, other than it being current year and fully uncirculated.
