Eight Instruments and a Famous Organ

One side of the coin brings together eight instruments of the Vienna Philharmonic, including violins, a cello, a harp and a horn. Finely detailed, they stand out clearly against the gleaming background, accompanied by the inscription "WIENER PHILHARMONIKER". The other side shows the great organ from the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein, one of the most famous concert halls in the world. The coin also bears the name of the Republic of Austria, its year of minting and its face value.

Legal Tender with Face Value in Euro

A special feature of the Philharmonic is its face value in euro. Issued by the Republic of Austria, the coin is legal tender there with a face value of one hundred euros. This face value is mainly of symbolic significance, as the coin's value is determined primarily by its fine gold content.

Minted by Münze Österreich

The Philharmonic is produced by Münze Österreich, a mint with a centuries-old tradition. Each coin contains 31.1 g of gold with a fineness of 999.9/1,000 and measures 37 mm in diameter. This makes the Philharmonic one of the purest gold coins minted for investors, and its substantial size allows the design to stand out particularly well.

A Value for Several Generations

Gold is one of humanity's oldest means of payment and was regarded in many cultures as a sign of wealth and power. It is durable and retains its properties over long periods of time. This makes it suitable both for long-term retirement planning and for wealth that you may one day pass on to your children or grandchildren. A well-known Philharmonic is a value that is understood everywhere.

Protection Against Inflation and Crises

When inflation rises, paper money loses purchasing power. Gold, on the other hand, preserves its value as a tangible asset that cannot be increased at will, and is therefore considered a reliable inflation hedge. An internationally recognised coin such as the Philharmonic is also well suited for crisis protection, as gold can be used as a means of exchange in times of unstable currencies.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 1 oz Gold Vienna Philharmonic

How Can I Recognise a Genuine Gold Philharmonic?

A genuine 1 oz Gold Vienna Philharmonic contains 31.1 g of gold with a fineness of 999.9/1,000, measures 37 mm in diameter, is 2 mm thick and has a finely milled edge. The safest way to buy is from a specialist dealer who checks every coin: we examine each one before shipping using X-ray fluorescence analysis, conductivity and eddy current measurement, a magnetic scale, as well as sound and visual inspection, and two specialists check every order according to the dual-control principle. Your coin then travels in a safebag that can only be opened once.

Do the Years of Issue of the Philharmonic Differ?

The design, fine weight and fineness have remained the same since the first issue in 1989. Differences exist in the year of minting and the face value: until 2001, the ounce carried a face value of 2,000 Schilling; since 2002, it has been 100 euros. For all years of issue, only the gold counts towards the value. If you would like the current year of issue, choose the 1 oz Gold Vienna Philharmonic 2026.

What Is a 1 oz Gold Philharmonic Worth?

The value of the Philharmonic is determined by its troy ounce of fine gold and the current gold price. The stamped face value plays no role in this. You can see the current price for your ounce at the top of this page.
