1 Ounce Gold Philharmonic

The Austrian Philharmonic gold coins are also referred to as the Viennese Philharmonic coins. The Philharmonic coin series is available in gold, silver, and platinum. The Gold Philharmonic coin was issued for the first time in 1989 and named after the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra. The orchestra inspired the design of both sides of the coin. The coin was originally minted in two sizes that included the 1 Oz and ¼ Oz gold coins.

The South African Krugerrand was originally the most preferred among investors and constituted over 90% of the gold coins in the market. However, as soon as it was released the gold Philharmonic coin gained ground against the Krugerrand and became a popular choice among investors. The reason investors prefer the coin is because of its purity levels.

Gold Philharmonic coins were minted for the first time in Austria when the law changed to permit the issue of pure gold coins for investment purposes. Then designers came up with the idea to design a gold coin that symbolized Austrian heritage. The designers brainstormed several themes before settling on musical instruments. Music is a global ambassador whose message is understood all over the world. The best symbol of music is the world-famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

Thomas Pesendorfer, the Austrian Mint chief engraver designed the pioneering coin. The Gold Philharmonic coin originally had a face value printed in Austrian Schillings. However, with the introduction of the Eurozone in 2002, the face value was changed into Euros. The 1-ounce gold Philharmonic coin allows investors to invest in high-quality gold with a purity level of .9999.

Gold Philharmonic coins are among the most preferred among investors because of the purity level. Buying the coins in large quantities would bestow an enormous investment advantage to investors and collectors alike.

The Philharmonic gold coin is available for VAT-free swiss storage or delivery.
