  • Description:

    The Austrian Silver Philharmonic changes the standard for silver bullion coins. Firstly, this silver coin is the first bullion coin to represent the Euro in Europe. Secondly, instead of using a portrait of the country's monarch, the silver coin features a magnificent illustration of the pipe organ that is in the concert hall in Vienna. Austria's greatest pride is the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, which was founded in 1842 and has remained the finest orchestra world-wide. The actual application process of becoming a musician in this orchestra is rather exhaustive and very difficult. Usually, the musicians that play for the Vienna State Opera are the ones that apply for a position in the orchestra. One of the main reasons the Vienna Orchestra sounds differently than other orchestras is its use of instruments. Not very traditional instruments are used in this orchestra, including the famous pipe organ, making the sound have a deeper and cleaner resonance.

    The 2020 Austrian Silver Philharmonic weighs one ounce of .999 pure silver and is in brilliant uncirculated condition. The Austrian Mint's excellently minted coins resemble more of a proof finish, with a luster that is hard to ignore. The obverse features an elegantly designed pipe organ, with the words Republic of Austria and one ounce of pure silver. The reverse is stamped with Vienna Philharmonic and an assortment of the instruments used in the Vienna Orchestra. These instruments include the flute, bassoon, harp, cello, violin, and French horn. These designs don't change every year but that hasn't stopped serious collectors' interest in this series. Silver bullion coins are meant to honor the country's history and the symbols that represent that country's beliefs the best. It is a brave and inventive idea for the Austrian Mint to honor an orchestra rather than a person on their coins. But that orchestra is what brings Austria the most honor.
