Austrian Philharmonic 1oz 2008 Silver Coin

 




First minted in 2008 by the 800-year old Austrian Mint, Silver Vienna Philharmonics are pure .999 fine silver bullion coins. Each coin contains one troy ounce of pure silver and measures 1.457" (or 37 mm) in diameter. They are exquisitely beautiful and impressively large coins...and make a handsome and worthwhile addition to any investment portfolio.





Nearly identical in design to the widely popular Vienna Philharmonic gold bullion coin series, each Silver Vienna Philharmonic coin features imagery of the cultural pride of Austria, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The obverse side of the coin is stamped with the name of the orchestra and the word "silver" in German, and features a montage of instruments, including a string bass, cellos, violins, a bassoon, harp and Viennese horn, representing Austria's rich musical and cultural heritage.



The reverse side of the coin features the image of the "Great Organ" found in Vienna's "Golden Hall," the concert hall where the Vienna Orchestra performs. The country of issue, the silver weight in ounces, and the 1.5 euro legal tender value are also stamped on the reverse side of the coin.

This is a low premium coin, well known around the world, and has good investment value
