2024 1/4 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic (BU)
History
The Austrian government created an absolutely beautiful gold bullion coin, which has been recognized worldwide for the unique and beautiful design. While most nations use a national symbol (Canadian Maple Leaf) or a national animal (United States – Bald Eagle, South Africa – Springbok Antelope, and others).
The Austrian Mint instead chose to honor its beautiful capital city of Vienna and one of its proudest achievements – the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The Vienna Philharmonic often plays in the Musikverein, which is the name of the concert hall. Inside the Great Hall of that facility is the massive concert pipe organ and it is proudly displayed on this most unusual bullion coin.
Design
On the obverse of this coin and around the pipe organ is the “REPUBLIK OSTERREICH (Republic of Austria)” as well as the denomination, fineness, weight, and date.
The reverse of this coin continues the musical theme with a grouping of popular concert instruments – violins, a Vienna horn, a bassoon, a harp, and a cello. The reverse also displays “VIENNA PHIHARMONIC” in Austrian. All of the denominations were struck in .9999 Fine Gold.
When first issued in 1989, the denomination was 2,000 Schilling on the 1 Troy Ounce coin. When Austria joined the EU and the Euro was created, the denomination on the 1 Troy Ounce Coin changed to 100 Euros.
The One-Quarter Troy Ounce coin was first issued in the inaugural year of 1989. The original denomination was 500 Austrian Schilling which later changed into 25 Euros as the Euro was developed.
