About Austrian Mint
The Austrian Mint, known as Münze Österreich, serves as Austria’s national coin mint. With a history dating back to 1194, it stands alongside the UK’s Royal Mint as one of the most prestigious and longest-established mints in the world. After more than 800 years of minting Austrian coins, the Austrian Mint transitioned to a private company in 1988. It remains the sole manufacturer of Austria’s coins and is located in the heart of Vienna, the Austrian capital.
Today, it is responsible for producing all of Austria’s Euro coins for circulation, in addition to crafting bullion and commemorative pieces. Among its offerings, the gold and silver Vienna Philharmonic coin series is the most recognized, ranking among the most popular bullion coins globally. These coins hold the distinction of being the only Euro-denominated bullion coins currently minted, making them especially popular throughout Europe.

Named after the renowned Vienna Philharmonic orchestra, which inspired the design on both sides of the coin, it was first issued in 1989. Initially, these one-troy-ounce gold Austrian coins had a face value of 2,000 Austrian schillings. It has consistently been one of the world’s top-selling bullion coins. Following the euro’s introduction in 2002, the face value of the one-ounce gold coin was adjusted to 100 euros. The gold Philharmonic boasts a purity of 999.9 (or 0.9999), equivalent to 24 karat or 99.99% pure gold.
