Austrian Silver Philharmonics (2012 & Prior)

The Austrian Mint, renowned for minting some of the most exquisite coins in Europe, first minted the Silver Vienna Philharmonic in 2008. Inspired by the world-famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, this meticulously crafted coin bears Musikverein, the concert hall of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, on the obverse. A harmonious medley of orchestral instruments, including a string bass, violins, cello, a bassoon, harp, and horn, grace the reverse. The Silver Vienna Philharmonic is crafted from 1 oz of .999 fine silver, and denotes a face value of 1.50 Euro. It is identical in design to the Gold Vienna Philharmonic, the most coveted of all minted gold bullion coins.
