Austrian Silver Philharmonics

Celebrating Austria's rich musical culture, the Austrian Silver Philharmonic is the only regularly issued silver coin denominated in euros. Each silver coin is made of .999 fine silver, making it a great piece for your investment portfolio. The silver content and collectibility of this coin contribute to its investment value, along with the fact that these sovereign-backed coins qualify for most precious metals IRA accounts.

The Philharmonic series–in both silver and gold–is one of the flagship products of the Austrian Mint. They are produced using high quality standards to ensure that each bullion coin is as beautiful as it is valuable.

What is an Austrian Silver Philharmonic?

The Austrian Silver Philharmonic is a silver bullion coin that is annually released by the Austrian Mint. Its design pays homage to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the nation's fine cultural traditions. This makes the coin ideal not only for bullion investors, but also for those interested in foreign cultures and music history.

The obverse features the Great Organ, which is located in one of Austria's most famous concert halls, The Golden Hall. On the reverse, a selection of orchestral instruments are on display. This includes a french horn, bassoon, harp, cello, and four violins.

Who Produces the Austrian Silver Philharmonic?

Austrian Silver Philharmonics are manufactured by the Austrian Mint, which is a subsidiary of the National Bank of Austria. It has been in operation for over 800 years and is currently the sole manufacturer of Austrian coinage.

The mint designs and strikes circulation coins, Austrian euro coins, bullion products, and blanks for other countries. The Philharmonic series is well known in part because it is the only regularly minted euro coin that can be purchased. The modern facility has the technology to produce about 450 million coins each year.

What is a Silver Coin?

A silver coin is made by a sovereign government mint. Though its primary purpose is to aid your investment goals, these coins also carry a legal tender value. The process of minting these coins is regulated, which helps guarantee the purity and weight of the silver. These quality standards make bullion coins a prized asset for many investors and collectors.

What are Austrian Silver Philharmonics Worth?

Each Silver Philharmonic has a legal tender value and can be used to pay for goods and services. However, the value of these coins truly lies in the silver content. Investing in silver bullion is a great way to build your wealth in a form that you can control. Like all coins and rounds, Silver Philharmonics are affordable and easy to store.
