2024 1/4 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coin
The ¼ Gold Philharmonic followed the 1 oz Gold counterpart as the second coin in the Philharmonic series by the Austrian Mint.
The coins are made of 999.9 pure gold and hold legal tender status and face value guaranteed by the Austrian Government, which makes them a sensible purchase for investors willing to diversify their assets with gold coins.
The Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coins have the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra as the motif, just like the moniker suggests. You can purchase them online today from SD Bullion.

The Design
As the series motif is the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the coin’s design showcases classic instruments on both sides.
The obverse displays a pipe organ inspired by the first organ built in 1872 in the Musikverein but destroyed during the war when the Golden Hall of Vienna suffered bomb attacks. The reconstruction of the organ, along with the building, became a national symbol of resistance.
The inscriptions on the border are in German, the Austrian official language, and correspond to the country and year of mintage, the coin’s face value, weight, metal content, and purity.
The instruments in the reverse design are part of those that compose the Vienna Orchestra: violins, a cello, the Viennese horn, a bassoon, and a harp. The name of the Orchestra is the only inscription on this side.
The Gold Philharmonic Series
The series debuted in the bullion market in 1989 with a 1 oz gold coin, followed by its fractional ¼ oz. The success of the Gold Philharmonic's first strikes led to the expansion of the series, which gradually included the 1/10 oz coin in 1991, the ½ oz in 1994, and, completing the series, the 1/25 oz in 2014 for the 25th anniversary of the series.
