The Austrian Silver Philharmonic is perhaps Europe’s best known silver bullion coin. It was first introduced in 2008 to complement the Austrian Mint’s popular Gold Philharmonic bullion coin. Since then, the Silver Philharmonic has become a mainstay among silver bullion investors. The design of the Austrian Silver Philharmonic is essentially the same as the Gold Philharmonic, and consists of a finely crafted montage of classical instruments on one side, and the Great Organ in Vienna’s fabled Golden Hall on the front, or obverse.

The Austrian Mint has been producing coinage for over 800 years, and is one of the oldest operating mints today. The Silver Philharmonic contains 1 troy ounce of .999 pure silver, and is a legal tender coin of Austria.
