What Are Austrian Silver Philharmonikers?

Among the top selling 1oz silver bullion coins world-wide, the silver Vienna Philharmonic is an attractive European silver coin, issued annually by the Austrian Mint (Münze Österreich) since 2008.

Silver Philharmonikers are minted in 31.10 grams of 99.9% silver

These coins were introduced following the success of the 24 carat gold Philharmonic. They have similar appearance to the gold one ounce version: a diameter of 37.00 millimetres but a greater thickness of 3.2 millimetres.

Gold and silver Philharmonikers are the only European bullion coins with a Euro face value though they are only legal tender in Austria. The face value of silver Vienna Philharmonics is an unusual €1.50, much lower than the value of its precious metal content. This is because the 1 Euro and 2 Euro are reserved for ordinary circulation.

Coins Inspired By The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra

Vienna Philharmonic coins are named after and inspired by the Vienna Philharmonic: founded in 1842 and considered one of the world's finest orchestras. 

The obverse, shows the pipe organ in the Vienna Musikverein concert hall: the home of the Vienna Philharmonic. The legend reads 'REPUBLIC ÖSTERREICH' (Republic of Austria) and lists the weight, date and denomination. The reverse features an array of instruments and the words 'WIENER PHILHARMONIKER' (Vienna Philharmonic) and 'SILBER' (silver).

The design used for silver Philharmonic bullion coins is the same that appears on their gold bullion counterparts and was created by Austrian Mint engraver Thomas Pesendorfer in 1989.
