In 2016 the Austrian Mint in Vienna introduced the Austrian Platinum Philharmonic Coin, the third version of their popular bullion coin series. This dazzling coin of 99.95% platinum is considered legal tender by the Austrian government and the European Union with a face value of 100 EURO. Like the Gold and Silver versions, 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 999.5” with the date of mintage directly below. The bottom of the coin displays its face value, reading, “100 Euro,” 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. A 1 oz. Austrian Platinum Philharmonic is 37 mm in diameter and 1.85 mm thick.
