1 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic
The Austrian Gold Philharmonic coin series began in 1989. The Gold Philharmonic is the only coin that has been issued with two distinct face value denominations. At their inception in 1989, the coins carried a face value in the then-sovereign currency of Austria, the Austrian Schilling. With the establishment of the Eurozone and the introduction of the Euro as the common currency in 2002, the denomination on the coins was converted to Euros . It's important to note that, despite bearing a Euro denomination, these coins are legally tender only within Austria.
About The 1 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic
The front side of every 1 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coin depicts the grand Musikverein Pipe Organ, which resides in Vienna's Golden Music Hall. This iconic venue is home of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. On the coin's reverse, a collection of classical musical instruments is featured, representing those played by the members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The ensemble includes a Vienna horn, bassoon, harp, quartet of violins, and a cello prominently at the center. Both sides of the coin were designed by Thomas Pesendorfer, the lead engraver at the Austrian Mint, and reflect the rich musical heritage associated with the orchestra.
