1 oz Vienna Philharmonic Gold Coin | Mixed Years

1 oz Vienna Philharmonic Mixed Years — the cheapest way to own Vienna Philharmonics

1 troy ounce of pure 999.9/1000 gold, struck by Münze Österreich (Austrian Mint, Vienna). The "Mixed Years" variant is a "lottery prize" option — the buyer does not know in advance which year they will receive. It can be a classic 1989-2001 issue with face value 2,000 ATS (Austrian schillings, before euro introduction), a post-2002 issue with face value 100 EUR, a rarer "Vintage Vienna", or a fresh contemporary issue. Most important advantage: lowest markup over spot in the European bullion portfolio — typically 2-4% above the pure gold price.

Obverse — organ of the Musikverein's Golden Hall (since 1989)

The obverse depicts the organ of the Musikverein's Golden Hall in Vienna — home of the Vienna Philharmonic. The constancy of the motif since 1989 (37 years) builds global recognition. Around it the inscription "REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH" and the face value — the only element that may differ depending on the year: 2,000 ATS (1989-2001) or 100 EUR (since 2002).

Reverse — eight symphony orchestra instruments

The reverse shows eight instruments of the symphony orchestra: Vienna harp, four violins, viola, cello and bassoon. Designed by Thomas Penning in 1989 — unchanged for 37 years.
