Wiener Philharmoniker 1/2 Oz 2025 Gold Coin

The Wiener Philharmoniker investment coins are minted by the Austrian Mint Münze Österreich in 5 sizes and are modeled after the Vienna Philharmonic. They are currently minted in sizes 1 Oz, 1/2 Oz, 1/4 Oz, 1/10 Oz and 1/25 Oz. The coins are minted from pure 999.9% gold (24kt). The nominal value has been replaced by the Euro since 2002. The Wiener Philharmoniker investment coin is the best-selling investment coin in Europe and the second best-selling in the world. On the reverse, the coins bear the motif of the musical instruments of the famous Vienna orchestra, which was chosen by its author, Thomas Pesendorfer, an Austrian engraver and coin designer. The cello, placed in the center, is surrounded by four violins on the bottom and, from the top left, a French horn, a bassoon and a harp on the right. The upper rim of the coin shows the name WIENER PHILHARMONIKER. The obverse depicts the organ in the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein, home of the Vienna Philharmonic. Below it, the weight of the ounce coin is ''1 UNZE GOLD'', the fineness ''999.9'' and the year of minting, which is the only one that changes every year. The rim of the coin then shows information such as the nominal value ''100 EURO'' and the country of origin ''REPUBLIK OSTERREICH''. The year of minting has no effect on the value of the coin.
