Gold Vienna Philharmonics
For more than eight centuries the Austrian Mint has had a profound influence upon the culture, the economy and everyday life of Austria, Europe, and the financial world.
About 800 years ago, the Austrian Babenberg Duke, Leopold V, took King Richard the Lionhearted of England prisoner after an argument in the Holy Land. When the King's ransom was paid, a part of the silver was used to found the Vienna Mint in 1194.
Today, the Austrian Mint is a state-of-the-art facility that strikes gold coins on modern, high tech presses. Yet, it is the skillful crafting by hand that remains indispensable to the final quality of its gold coins.
Extremely Fine CraftsmanshipThe Austrian Mint is known worldwide for its reputation for creating artful engraving through the fine minting process. Our favorite Austrian gold coins are from the Vienna Philharmonic series.
Minted in Solid GoldEach Vienna Philharmonic gold coin is struck in pure gold that is 999.9 fine or 24 carat solid gold. We highly recommend them as an ideal addition to any modern gold coin collection.
World Class DesignMusical instruments honoring the world famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra appear on the reverse of the Gold Philharmonic coins. On the obverse side of each coin is the "Great Pipe Organ" of Vienna's Philharmonic Golden Concert Hall, as well as the face value in Austrian Schillings and the weight, fineness, and year of issue.
