A Design Inspired by Music

Obverse: The Great Organ The obverse features a stunningly detailed depiction of the Great Pipe Organ housed in Vienna’s Großer Musikvereinssaal. This hall is globally celebrated for its "acoustically perfect" environment, which amplifies the majesty of the organ. Above the image is the inscription "REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH," while the weight, purity, and denomination are displayed below the instrument.

Reverse: The Orchestra’s Instruments The reverse pays homage to the legendary Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The design showcases an array of musical instruments—including a cello, violins, violas, a bassoon, a Viennese horn, and a harp. Arched elegantly above the ensemble is the title "WIENER PHILHARMONIKER."

A Legacy of Excellence

With over 825 years of experience, the Austrian Mint is a global leader in bullion production. While the Philharmonic series began in gold in 1989, the introduction of the silver variant in 2008 catapulted the series to new heights of international popularity.

Every Silver Philharmonic coin honors the legacy of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Founded in 1842 (and formally organized in its modern form shortly thereafter), it remains one of the most respected musical institutions in the world. By combining this rich cultural history with investment-grade silver, the Austrian Mint has created a coin that is as beautiful as it is valuable.
