2023 1/25 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coin
2014 was the year of the 25th anniversary of the Gold Philharmonic Series, and the Austrian Mint marked this date with the inclusion of a new option to the series: the 1/25 oz gold coin.
Each coin contains 1/25 oz of 99.99% pure gold and the Vienna Orchestra as a motif. It holds a face value of 4 Euros and legal tender status guaranteed by Austria.
Besides this 1/25 oz coin, the collection comprises the standard 1 oz and the fractional ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz Gold Philharmonics.
Coin Highlights
- Contains 1/25 oz of .9999 fine gold in BU condition;
- First struck to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the program in 2014;
- 10th issue of the 1/25 oz coin;
- Face value of 4 Euros and legal tender status guaranteed by the Austrian government;
- Motif inspired by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Design
Despite being a commemorative coin, the 1/25 oz Gold Philharmonic does not carry any particular mark in its design that resembles the anniversary, which remains the standard design of the whole series.
The obverse depicts the pipe organ from the Musikverein, the Golden Hall of Vienna. This organ and part of the building suffered severe damage during WWII, making the reconstruction of both a symbol to the nation. The information engraved on this side is in German and refers to the country’s name, the coin’s issuance, weight, metal content, fineness, and face value.
The reverse features eight of the most important instruments that compose an orchestra. Violins, a cello, the Viennese horn, a bassoon, a harp, and the Vienna Orchestra’s name cover the coin’s surface.
The Vienna Orchestra
One of the most renowned orchestras worldwide, the origin of the Vienna Philharmonics dates back to approximately 1842. Otto Nicolai, a German Maestro, founded the Philharmonic Academy to become an independent institution headed by the members’ democratic decisions.
Being an orchestra member demands a lot from the candidate, who should undergo a rigid selection process, including skills evaluations and the acceptance of the other members.
Since 1941, every January 1st, the Vienna New Year’s Concert joins classical music fans to appreciate a special presentation dedicated to the Strauss family.
