The 1 oz Silver Austrian Vienna Philharmonic Coin is the official silver bullion coin produced by the Austrian Mint. 2017 Silver Philharmonic coins purchased from BGASC are brand new coins from the mint, pulled from mint-sealed boxes with lint-free white cotton gloves. Each coin comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and contains one troy ounce of .999 fine silver.

Vienna, Austria’s reputation for being “The Musical Capital of the World” can be largely attributed to its own world-class, internationally-renowned Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Considering the immense cultural significance of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, it is no wonder that the nation has chosen to make it the centerpiece of their official sovereign bullion coin.

Like its gold coin counterpart, the Silver Philharmonic depicts a harmonious assortment of musical instruments, including a string bass, cellos, violins, a bassoon, a harp and a signature Viennese horn, on its reverse. The obverse of the coin shows the great organ of the Musikverein concert hall in Vienna, the orchestra’s home, as well as the face value, weight, fineness and year of issue. Another feature that sets this beautiful coin apart is its mirror-like smooth edge.

The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1848 as the first professional orchestra in Vienna and through the years has triumphantly earned the reputation of being one of the best orchestras in the entire world. The VPO’s members are selected from the orchestra of the Vienna State Opera with each musician having to demonstrate his or her capability for a minimum of three years while performing for the opera and ballet before they may request from the Vienna Philharmonic’s board an application for a position in the orchestra.

Because the Austrian Silver Philharmonic coin has a face value of 1.5 Euro and is a legal-tender bullion coin with its weight, content, and purity guaranteed by the Austrian government, this coin is eligible to be held in individual retirement accounts (IRAs).
