The Austrian Mint first began producing the Vienna Philharmonic in 1989 and it quickly became very popular. This coin was the best selling gold bullion coin in the world in 1992, 1995, and 1996 according to World Gold Council. The obverse features the great organ in the Vienna's Golden Concert Hall (Musikverein), which houses the Philharmonic Orchestra. Arranged underneath the organ are the weight, fineness, date of issue, and face value in Austrian Schillings. At top sits the official name of the country, "REPUBLIK STERREICH". The reverse depicts a collection of orchestral instruments: a cello, four violins, a Vienna horn, bassoon, and harp. These instruments are arranged underneath the German name of the orchestra: "WIENER PHILHARMONIKER". The Austrian Mint guarantees the Philharmonic's weight and purity and backs its monetary face value, which is the highest of any gold bullion coin. The 1-oz. coin has a face value of 2000 Schillings. Vienna Philharmnics have a gold purity of 99.99% |
