History

Austrian Philharmonic 1 oz Silver Coins are available to purchase annually from the Austrian Mint. One of the oldest operating mints in Europe, the Austrian Mint was founded by Duke Leopold V in 1194. He used a war ransom of 15 tonnes of silver paid to him by Englands King Richard I to fund the initial founding of the mint. The mints Chief Engraver, Thomas Pesendorfer, designed the images used on the Austrian Philharmonic coins in 1989 for the debut of the gold bullion versions of the coin.
