Boasting 825 years of experience, Münze Österreich is renowned the world over for first-class precious metal processing and coin manufacture. A member of the international minting elite, it is a global player in this field.
Without such a pedigree the Vienna Philharmonic would never have become Europe’s most sought after bullion coin. Our Kinebars, which feature the white Lipizzaner horse of Vienna’s Spanish Riding School, are ideal both as gifts and investments, while our minted or cast gold bars make a great addition to any investment portfolio. Also coveted are our historical re-strikes, Ducats, Guilders and Crowns, which are some of our most established products. In addition to gold, silver and platinum are becoming increasingly popular – a demand we cater for with our Vienna Philharmonics in silver and platinum.
On the basis of the directives governing money-laundering and counterterrorism, we are required to establish the identity of the buyer for sales within six months and for an accumulated value of € 10,000 or more. Without exception, a valid passport, identity card or driving licence is required as proof of identity. Legal basis: money-laundering legislation under §§ 165 and 278d of the Austrian Criminal Code (Strafgesetzbuch). The regulation in the country in which the purchase is made applies. The customer is responsible for complying with the reporting obligation when importing into the country of residence.
For purchases in the Münze Österreich shop in Vienna (Am Heumarkt 1, 1030 Vienna) (link), our employees are required to ask for identification, even if two or more buyers appear to be connected.
Furthermore, transactions exceeding a value of € 75,000 may only be concluded if the money is paid by bank transfer (no cash payment). The limit of € 75,000 within six months is likewise cumulative.
