2026 Austrian Platinum Philharmonic Coin

The 1 oz Austrian Platinum Philharmonic Coin is renowned for combining artistic design with high‐quality precious metals. Since the introduction of the platinum version by the Austrian Mint in 2016, this 1-ounce .9995 pure platinum coin has become a sought-after alternative to the gold and silver Philharmonics. The 1 oz Austrian Platinum Philharmonic Coin continues that tradition: delivering platinum purity, legal tender face value in euros, and the same celebrated design that collectors appreciate.

The obverse of the coin features a rendering of the great organ in the Musikverein concert hall of Vienna, home to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Wiener Musikverein, usually shortened to Musikverein, is German for the Viennese Music Association. This concert hall is known as one of the finest in the world, with its high ceilings, expansive length, and narrow width contributing to its superb acoustics. Above the organ are the words, “Republik Osterreich,” the country’s official name, The Republic of Austria, in English. Beneath the depiction of the organ, the coin reads, “1 Unze Platin 9995” with the date of mintage directly below. The bottom of the coin displays its face value, reading, “100 Euro,” and before 2002, “2000 Schilling.”

The reverse of the coin exhibits an eye-catching collection of orchestral instruments, with a Viennese horn, bassoon, and harp in the background, four cellos in the foreground, and a string bass prominently displayed in the center. The words, “Wiener Philharmoniker,” in English, Vienna Philharmonic, stretch across the top of the coin. Engraver Thomas Pesendorfer designed the coin’s award-winning artwork.

The 1 oz. Austrian Gold Philharmonic is 37 mm in diameter and 1.85 mm thick.
