2017 1 oz Austrian Platinum Philharmonic Coin For Sale
SD Bullion is proud to feature the second coin in the newly-launched Austrian Platinum Philharmonic coin series. Struck from 1 troy ounce of 0.9995 pure platinum with a smooth finish, this coin displays the finish that we associate with pure platinum.
Although the platinum bullion series is relatively new, the first Philharmonic Coin was struck in gold and issued way back in 1989. Ever since, Philharmonic Coins have been a coveted item – by not only collectors but investors as well.
Now, the newer platinum Philharmonic variants also embody the design and ideas behind the gold version – successfully portraying music as the only language that is understood across the world. Featuring brand-new tamper-evident seals for the first time in 2017, the Austrian Mint has further ensured that each of these coins is authentic.
The coin’s obverse displays an image of the magnificent Great Organ of the Golden Hall in the Musikverein (Vienna’s concert hall). Imprinted around this picture are the purity and weight of the platinum in the coin, its face value ‘100 Euros,’ and the phrase ‘Republik Osterreich.’ On the reverse of the coin – the famed array of instruments, central to all Philharmonic coins, the Vienna horn, cello, violin, harp, and the bassoon are elegantly portrayed.
Containing 1 ounce of pure platinum, this coin makes a sound investment and a great way to diversify precious metals assets. Moreover, collectors who want to maintain a complete collection of the new Austrian Platinum Philharmonic series should snag this 2017 issue (2nd in this series) before stocks run dry.
