Design & finish — 1/4 troy ounce Gold Philharmoniker

The Austrian Mint is renowned for its exceptional production quality and purity. The obverse of the Gold Philharmoniker displays the gold purity (999.9), weight (1/4 troy ounce), the face value of 25 euros (pre-2002: 500 schilling) and the famous organ of the Vienna Musikverein, together with the inscription “Republik Österreich”.

The reverse features the inscription “Wiener Philharmoniker” and a collection 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 was introduced in 1989 and has been used on the 1/4 troy ounce coin since its introduction. Unlike the silver version, the gold coin features a reeded edge.
