The 1/10 troy ounce (3.11 grams) Gold Philharmoniker is minted in 24-karat pure gold and issued by the Austrian Mint, Münze Österreich. It is the most recognisable and most sought-after European gold bullion coin of recent decades. The Philharmoniker is internationally popular due to its iconic design and is widely traded in countries such as Germany, Switzerland and the United States.
The 1/10 troy ounce Gold Philharmoniker has been minted since 1991 by the Austrian Mint. The coin has a purity of 999.9/1000 (24 karats). The coins offered originate from various years between 1991 and 2024 and have been sourced through the market.
The Austrian Mint is renowned for its exceptional production quality and purity. The obverse of the Gold Philharmoniker displays its gold purity (999.9), weight (1/10 troy ounce), the face value of 10 euros (pre-2002: 200 schilling) and the iconic organ of the Vienna Musikverein, together with the inscription “Republik Österreich”.
The reverse features the inscription “Wiener Philharmoniker” along with an ensemble of musical instruments: a Viennese horn, a double bass, a harp, a cello and four violins. The timeless design by Thomas Pesendorfer has remained unchanged since the Philharmoniker series debuted in 1989 and has been used for the 1/10 troy ounce coin since 1991. Unlike the silver version, the gold coin has a reeded edge.
