The design printed on the front and back of the Austria Philharmonic coins is the same regardless of the composition of the metal used. The designs printed on the coins were created in 1989 by Thomas Pesendorfer. He is the chief engraver at the Austrian Mint. The design is meant to honour the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, which is of cultural significance in Austria. The orchestra is also widely recognized as one of the best in the world.

The Great Pipe Organ inscribed on the coin is the second version of the instrument inscribed on the coin since 1870. Freidrich Ladegast designed the first organ inscribed on the coin in 1872. The modern pipe organ is also called the Great Pipe Organ and was built by the Austrian firm called Rieger Orgelbau. The design was adopted in 1907 and redesigned in 2011.

The musical instruments appearing at the back of the coin include a cello, four violins, a harp, a bassoon, and the Vienna horn. The Vienna State Opera that inspired the design of the coin is a prestigious band that strictly vet members before they are allowed to join.
