When the Austrian Mint first issued Vienna Philharmonic coins in silver, it was the first time that a silver bullion coin had been brought on to the European market with silver of 99.9% purity. We\u2019d long been waiting for a product of these characteristics and within a month of the date of issue, the millionth coin was struck &#8211; cementing its popularity.<\/p>\n<p>The Austrian Mint, one of the oldest Mint in Europe, has captured the grandeur of Vienna\u2019s\u00a0<em>Musikverein<\/em>\u00a0concert hall. The coin\u2019s obverse depicts the famous Great Organ of the Golden Hall. The original organ was built by Friedrich Ladegast in 1872 and is a result of many influences from his travels around Europe. The organ has had several makeovers and renovations since and continues to look magnificent. The Words REPUBLIK \u00d6STERREICH are shown above the instrument with the coin\u2019s weight, silver purity, denomination and year of mintage \u201c2023\u201d engraved below.<\/p>\n<p>Both sides of this coin were designed by Thomas Pesendorfer, the Austrian Mint\u2019s chief engraver. It was created by Pesendorfer at the beginning of his career. Pesendorfer\u2019s iconic Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra design has been used in several different metals and many denominations, two of which have won COTY (\u201ccoin of the year\u201d) awards; a feat that remains unparalleled. Pesendorfer originally<\/p>\n<p>went to the Fachschule f\u00fcr Metalldesign in Steyr to become a sculptor, however, he discovered his vocation was in metal design and was eventually advised to join the Austrian Mint, a Mecca for Austrian engravers<\/p>\n<p>For the reverse, Pesendorfer chose to present eight characteristic orchestral instruments: four violins on either side of a cello in the foreground and the Viennese horn, the bassoon and the harp behind. The inscription &#8220;WIENER PHILHARMONIKER&#8221; stands in a semicircle.<\/p>\n<p>Fabricated in 99.9% pure silver, each 1.5 euros coin weighs 1 troy ounce or 31.07 grams. Today, these legal-tender coins are among the top-selling bullion coins in Europe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul class=\"product-data-l\">\n<li class=\"product-data-li product-data-li--country\"><b>Country:\u00a0<\/b>Austria<\/li>\n<li class=\"product-data-li product-data-li--weight\"><b>Weight<sup>1<\/sup>:\u00a0<\/b>31.1035g<\/li>\n<li class=\"product-data-li product-data-li--field product-data-li--field-series\"><b>Series:\u00a0<\/b>Vienna Philharmonic<\/li>\n<li class=\"product-data-li product-data-li--field product-data-li--field-mint\"><b>Mint:\u00a0<\/b>Austrian Mint<\/li>\n<li class=\"product-data-li product-data-li--field product-data-li--field-purity\"><b>Purity:\u00a0<\/b>999\/1000<\/li>\n<li class=\"product-data-li product-data-li--field product-data-li--field-diameter_mm\"><b>Diameter, mm:\u00a0<\/b>37<\/li>\n<li class=\"product-data-li product-data-li--field product-data-li--field-thickness_mm\"><b>Thickness, mm:\u00a0<\/b>3.2<\/li>\n<li class=\"product-data-li product-data-li--field product-data-li--field-face_value\"><b>Face value:\u00a0<\/b>1.50<\/li>\n<li class=\"product-data-li product-data-li--field product-data-li--field-currency\"><b>Currency:\u00a0<\/b>Euro<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1389,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[26,23,20],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1387","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-999-silver","7":"product_cat-sales","8":"product_cat-silver-coins","10":"first","11":"outofstock","12":"sale","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"supplier_id":null,"supplier_sku":"","barcode":null,"atum_controlled":true,"out_stock_date":null,"out_stock_threshold":null,"inheritable":false,"inbound_stock":0,"stock_on_hold":0,"sold_today":0,"sales_last_days":0,"reserved_stock":0,"customer_returns":0,"warehouse_damage":0,"lost_in_post":0,"other_logs":0,"out_stock_days":0,"lost_sales":0,"has_location":false,"update_date":"2026-04-07T00:24:30","atum_locations":[],"atum_stock_status":"outofstock","restock_status":false,"low_stock_amount":"","sales_update_date":"2026-04-07T00:24:30","calc_backorders":null,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dancu.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dancu.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dancu.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dancu.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1387"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dancu.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dancu.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dancu.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1387"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dancu.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1387"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dancu.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
