Why does this brilliant uncirculated 2023 Austria Vienna Philharmonic 1 oz. gold coin deserve a place in your collection of precious metal treasures?
The Austrian Mint initially introduced the 1 oz. gold Vienna Philharmonic coin in 1989 with a face value of 2,000 Austrian schillings. Following the adoption of the Euro as the official currency of the country, the denomination of the coin was transitioned to 100 Euros in 2002. Throughout the entirety of the series’ thirty-five years of issue, the coin has maintained its imagery celebrating the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The designs, which are shared with the silver variety of the coin, are the work of acclaimed medallic sculptor Thomas Pesendorfer, the Mint’s Chief Engraver from 1993 until 2016.
