Buy 1 oz Silver Philharmonic | Raw | Random Year
The Silver Philharmonic is Europe's best-known silver bullion coin, struck by the Austrian Mint in Vienna. Each coin holds one troy ounce of .999 fine silver and carries a face value guaranteed by the Republic of Austria. This raw, random-year coin ships in original mint condition.
A Coin Named for an Orchestra
The Austrian Mint traces its history to 1194, when it was founded in Vienna with silver from the ransom paid for King Richard the Lionheart. More than eight centuries later it introduced the gold Vienna Philharmonic in 1989, honoring the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the world's great orchestras. The silver version followed in 2008 and quickly became one of the best-selling silver coins in Europe.
The design, by the mint's chief engraver Thomas Pesendorfer, has stayed the same since the gold coin's debut. One side shows the great pipe organ in the Golden Hall of Vienna's Musikverein, the orchestra's home concert hall. The other shows the orchestra's instruments: a Vienna horn, a bassoon, a harp, four violins and a cello.
