Austrian Gold Philharmonic coins were originally introduced in 1989 with a design from Thomas Pessendorfer. A lot has changed in this coin program since its introduction. First off, the program has expanded from the original offering of only the 1 oz. weight, to now include a ½ oz, ¼ oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/25 oz coin. The latter coin is the latest addition, added to the program in 2014 for the 25^th anniversary.

The Austrian Philharmonic Coin series includes a silver version of the coin, struck only in 1 oz, as well as the massive 20 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic struck in 2004 on the program’s 15^th anniversary. That one-time issue coin was known as the Big Phil. Austrian Gold Philharmonic coins were first struck with face values listed in Austrian Shillings, and now Euros following the 2002 formation of the European Union and Eurozone common currency.

On the obverse face of the coin you’ll find the pipe organ from the Musikverein Golden Hall in Vienna, along with engravings of the nation of issue, and the coin’s face value, year of issue, weight, metal content, and purity.

The reverse features a cornucopia of instruments used by members of the orchestra during performances. Engravings on this face, as with the obverse, are in German, and read “Wiener Philharmoniker.”
