About the Austrian Silver Philharmonic

The Austrian Silver Philharmonic, introduced by the Austrian Mint in 2008, brings the same celebrated musical design of the Gold Philharmonic to silver. The reverse features a collection of Vienna Philharmonic orchestral instruments — the Vienna horn, cello, violin, harp, and bassoon — while the obverse depicts the great pipe organ of the Musikverein's Golden Hall. At .999 fine silver, it meets IRS requirements for Silver IRA inclusion. The coin carries a 1.50 euro face value (EU legal tender). Like the Gold Philharmonic, the design has remained consistent since introduction, providing a timeless and recognizable appearance. The Austrian Mint applies its stringent quality control standards, resulting in coins known for sharp strikes and clear detail. The Silver Philharmonic is especially popular in Europe and competes effectively with the Silver Eagle and Maple Leaf in terms of recognition and dealer buyback programs. Available in 1 oz and 1/25 oz sizes.
