$139.66$137.66Investors have numerous options for purchasing gold, including gold bars and coins from various sovereign mints. One of the most popular gold coins worldwide is the Austrian gold Philharmonic, first introduced by the Austrian Mint in 1989. Gold coins have been in circulation for a while longer than this one. The Austrian Mint created the Philharmonic gold coin to honor Austria's rich musical heritage, drawing inspiration from the renowned Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra based in the Austrian capital. The coin is made from .9999 pure gold, making it the most refined gold bullion globally.
The Austrian gold Philharmonic, first minted in 1989, quickly gained popularity among collectors and investors due to its unique design. Initially created to honor the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, it has maintained the same design over its almost 30-year history. The coin is now one of the few gold coins produced on a large scale in Europe.
Notably, the Austrian gold Philharmonic stands out as one of the rare gold coins denominated in euros, with earlier coins denominated in schillings before 2002. The 1-ounce coin, currently listed with a face value of 100 euros, had 2,000 schillings for coins minted from 1989 to 2001. This change in face value remains the only design change in its history.
Unlike many other gold coin series, the Austrian gold Philharmonic also offers smaller fractional ounce denominations, catering to smaller investments. Depending on prevailing market conditions, investors and collectors can choose a 1/10 ounce size and a unique 1/25 ounce denomination.
A special collector's edition, "Big Phil," was introduced in 2004 to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the coin's launch. With a face value of 100,000 euros, only 15 special gold coins were produced, each weighing 1,000 troy ounces.
Initially, the coin was available only in two denominations - 1 ounce and 1/2 ounce. Fractional denominations were introduced, including 1/4, 1/10, and 1/25 ounces. By 1990, just a year after its inception, the Vienna Philharmonic gold coin became Europe's second-best-selling bullion-type investment coin and the world's second-best-selling. The World Gold Council recognized it as the world's top-selling gold coin in 1995.
Over its three-decade existence, the Philharmonic gold coin series has achieved remarkable success, with over 14 million coins sold. Its enduring design, consistent performance, and fractional options make it a favorite among collectors and investors worldwide.
The Austrian Mint's Chief Engraver Thomas Pesendorfer created the official design for its gold bullion coin. Mr. Pesendorfer's 1989 design showcases Austria's cultural pride in the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The obverse of the Austrian gold Philharmonic features the Musikverein pipe organ housed in Vienna's Golden Hall. German engravings on this side indicate "Republik Oesterreich," "Unze Gold 9999," the coin's weight, face value, and year of issue.
The reverse of the gold Philharmonic coin showcases an exquisite array of musical instruments employed by the esteemed members of the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra. A large cello is centered between two violins, accompanied by a harp, horn, and bassoon in the background. The German engravings read "Weiner Philharmoniker".
Unlike the designs of other gold coins that may change over time, the Austrian gold Philharmonic's design has remained constant since its introduction in 1989. This unwavering design popularity has extended to the Austrian silver Philharmonic (2008) and Austrian platinum Philharmonic (2016), featuring the same iconic designs.
