1/4 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coin

The Austrian Philharmonic gold coin, also known as the Vienna Philharmonic coin, has been produced by the Austrian Mint since 1989.

Measuring 22mm by 1.2mm, this coin contains 1/4 troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold - the highest purity gold in normal production in the world.

Since the Philharmonic gold coins began production before the introduction of the euro common currency, quarter-ounce coins minted between 1989 and 2001 will bear the face value of 500 schillings. Those struck from 2002 to the present have a denomination of 25 euros.

All Austrian Philharmonics feature the same design - the Grand Organ of the Vienna Philharmonic concert hall with the weight and denomination on the obverse, and various orchestral instruments on the reverse.
