Mankind’s fascination with gold began a very long time ago. For some 7,000 years, gold has stood for value and elegance. Since 1989 the Austrian Mint has been producing the Vienna Philharmonic, Europe’s only bullion coin. We are extremely proud of the fact that people all over the world enjoy the coin and the sense of security it gives them.
The Vienna Philharmonic is considered a superb investment on every continent and precious metal aficionados appreciate the very highest standards of purity and sustainability applied during its manufacture. This is how we have created a gold coin of lasting value. Centuries of experience, responsible production methods and our passion for coin making are behind our success. The result: much more than gold.
The combination of authenticity, permanence and lasting value make gold what it is. Security and stability seal its reputation. But how does one gold coin differ from another? And what is so special about the Vienna Philharmonic? Rather a lot, it seems.
Gold is the epitome of preciousness. Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by gold. That is still the case today.
The Austrian Mint has a history spanning 825 years, so we are accustomed to thinking in the long term, to seeing the bigger picture. Good examples of this are how we source our gold, how we work together and how much quality we invest in every step of the coin-making process.
A subsidiary of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank, the Austrian Mint has been producing the Vienna Philharmonic, one of the world’s most sought-after gold coins, since 1989. We apply only the very highest standards, be they ecological, ethical or technical, when minting the Vienna Philharmonic. The coin is much more than gold. That’s why I am happy to take responsibility for it.
Gerhard Starsich, CEO of the Austrian Mint

When the Münze Österreich first issued Vienna Philharmonic coins in silver in February 2008, it was the first time that a European silver bullion coin had been brought on to the market featuring silver of 99.9 per cent purity. The market had long been waiting for a product of these characteristics and within a month of the date of issue, the millionth coin was struck.
Since sales began on 1 February 2008, this silver coin has been struck exclusively in the 1 ounce version and in a quantity that reflects market demand.

The use of platinum dates back as far as Ancient Egypt, with small amounts of the precious metal being found in jewellery from around 3,000 BC. Yet in the 17th century, the value of platinum was misjudged as gold prospectors in the Spanish colonies considered it to be nothing more than a worthless accompanying material, or ‘unformed gold’, and threw it back into the rivers.
Nowadays, alongside gold, platinum is considered the most valuable precious metal. Platinum’s physical properties – corrosion resistance, malleability and softness – make it particularly well suited to the production of high-quality jewellery, while the precious metal and its alloys also have countless practical uses.
The Vienna Philharmonic in platinum now provides a real alternative to investing in gold. The bullion coin, which is available in 1 oz and 1/25 oz, has a purity of 999.5. A classic with a new look, the Vienna Philharmonic in platinum is also available in an elegant red case.
