Philharmoniker 1 troy ounce gold coin - various years

The 1 troy ounce (31.1 grams) Gold Philharmoniker coin is struck in 24-carat pure gold by the Austrian Mint (Münze Österreich). It is one of the most recognizable and sought-after gold coins in Europe and has become highly popular among investors in Germany, Switzerland and the United States thanks to its elegant design and trusted reputation.

The 1 troy ounce Gold Philharmoniker has been minted since 1989 by the Austrian Mint and has a gold purity of 999.9 (24 carats). In addition to its detailed design, the coin stands out due to its dimensions: it is slightly thinner than most other 1 troy ounce coins, resulting in a larger diameter of 37 millimetres.

The coins we offer come from various years between 1989 and 2024. From an investment perspective, these earlier years are particularly attractive as they are generally more affordable than the latest 2025 issue that comes directly from the mint. However, upon resale, all Gold Philharmoniker coins, regardless of year, have the same buyback value.

Design and Finish

The Austrian Mint is renowned for its outstanding craftsmanship and high purity standards. The obverse of the Gold Philharmoniker features the great organ of the Vienna Musikverein, along with the inscriptions “Republik Österreich”, “1 Unze Gold 999.9” and the face value of 100 euros. The reverse bears the inscription “Wiener Philharmoniker” and depicts an array of orchestral instruments, including a Vienna horn, bass, harp, cello and four violins. Designed by Thomas Pesendorfer, this timeless design has remained unchanged since its introduction in 1989. Unlike the Silver Philharmoniker, the gold version features a reeded edge.
