Since 1397, the Austrian Mint has produced some of the finest coinage known and their award winning Philharmonic has been one of the world's most successful bullion coins. Surprisingly, over the past 25 years they have never issued a single coin in proof quality, until now.
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Gold Philharmonic, the Austrian Mint has issued 5,000 two-coin sets consisting of a one-ounce and a quarter ounce (.9999 fine) Gold Philharmonic struck in amazing proof detail.
Proof coins are the fruit of the most advanced minting technology and craftsmanship. Only after 22 high-precision preparatory procedures is the die used to strike the first coin whose polished and frosted surfaces create an artistic interplay that makes for a remarkable numismatic experience.
Each coin is scrutinized in minute detail before it leaves the Austrian Mint, guaranteeing that a simple piece of metal has been transformed into a work of art. Each set arrives in a gorgeous display case with a protective sleeve and a numbered certificate of authenticity. The final result is absolute perfection.
Since the Austrian Mint announced they were minting Proof Philharmonics, collector and investor demand has been nothing short of extraordinary. Unlike other mints around the world, the Austrians have released very few collector issues over the past two decades, which adds to the desirability of this rare proof set.
The total mintage is strictly limited to 5,000 sets and acquiring these coins are the only way to secure a Vienna Philharmonic in proof quality.

On one side of the coin is an assortment of musical instruments including a Viennese horn, bassoon, harp, four violins, and a cello. This is the famous design used since their original launch in 1989. On the other side is the great organ of the Musikverein concert hall in Vienna.
