Also stamped on the obverse on the current year coin is the face value of 100 Euros, the year of mintage, the purity (.9999 fine) and the weight (1 unze, or ounce). Older Vienna Philharmonics carry a face value of 2000 Schillings. The reverse of the gold Philharmonic coins has an array of musical instruments, keeping with the coin’s theme.
The reverse displays an arrangement of orchestral instruments, including violins, a cello, a Vienna horn, and a harp.
The Austrian Philharmonic gold coin has been named the best-selling gold coin several times by the World Gold Council. It is a globally recognized government-backed coin that is legal tender in Austria and the EU, providing an additional layer of security for investors.
Although Philharmonics are very popular in Europe, they never gained popularity in the U.S. Still, they are excellent choices for investors who prefer pure 24-karat gold coins.
The Philharmonic gold coin comes in multiple fractional sizes, providing various economic investment options. However, the 1-oz option is the most popular and readily available. Additionally, It is the only bullion coin with denominations in euros, making it unique amongst European coins.
As the largest diameter of any 1-oz pure gold coin, it boasts exceptional purity at .9999 fine, 24-karat gold.
Investors interested in purchasing gold bullion coins with .9999 fine (99.99% pure) gold should consider the 1-ounce Austrian Philharmonics, also known as Vienna Philharmonics. These coins are renowned for their beauty and are among the finest gold bullion coins available. Other popular options in the .9999 fine gold category include the Australian Kangaroo gold coins, which are minted by the esteemed Perth Mint.
The one-ounce Philharmonics have a larger diameter compared to standard 22-karat gold bullion coins, measuring 37 mm versus 32.7 mm for Gold Eagles and Krugerrands. Additionally, Philharmonics are 2 mm thick, while Gold Eagles and Krugerrands are thicker at 2.83 mm.
The Austrian Mint packages Philharmonics in tubes containing ten coins each. These tubes are made of rigid plastic and feature a blue snap-on lid. While many secondary-market Philharmonics remain in their original tubes, some may be found in different secondary-market packaging.
