About the Austrian Gold Philharmonic
The 1 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic has been struck annually since 1989 by the Münze Österreich — the Austrian Mint — and is one of the top-selling gold bullion coins in the world. It contains one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold and carries a face value of 100 Euro, making it legal tender in Austria.
The obverse features the Great Organ of the Musikverein concert hall in Vienna — one of the most acoustically renowned concert halls in the world. The reverse depicts instruments associated with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, including a cello, violin, French horn, harp, and bassoon.
At .9999 fine, the Gold Philharmonic is one of the purest major gold bullion coins available. It is recognized by dealers in Europe, Asia, and North America and is a standard product in the global gold coin market.
Our Take
The Gold Philharmonic is one of the most globally liquid gold coins available. Its .9999 purity is higher than the American Gold Eagle's .9167, and it is recognized and accepted by dealers worldwide. For buyers who want pure gold in a well-known, government-backed format, it is an excellent choice.
In U.S. markets, the Gold Eagle and Gold Buffalo tend to trade at a slight premium over the Philharmonic simply due to familiarity. That difference works in your favor when buying a Philharmonic — you get the same gold content at a competitive price. When selling, most U.S. dealers know the coin well.
