When the Austrian Mint introduced the Austrian Philharmonic Gold Coins in 1989, only a 1 oz and 1/4 oz gold coin were available. In 1991, the 1/10 oz gold coin was introduced and was followed by the 1/2 oz gold coin in 1994. These primary four options were introduced before the adoption of the Euro as the common currency of the member nations in the Eurozone economy. As such, these coins initially had values in Austrian Schillings. Starting in 2002, the coins adopted new face values in the Euro currency. The 1/25 oz gold coin was introduced in 2014 and never had a face value in Austrian Schillings as a result.

Obverse

On the obverse side of 2021 Austrian Philharmonic 1 oz Gold Coins, you will find an image of the Great Organ. This large pipe organ is found inside of the Golden Concert Hall, a venue also known as the Musikverein. The venue is where the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra performs in the capital city and it is located in the Innere Stadt neighborhood of Vienna. The inscriptions on this face of the coin are in German, the official language of Austria, and read Republik Osterreich, 1 Unze Gold 999.9, 2021, and 100 Euro.

Reverse

The reverse face of the 2021 Austrian Philharmonic Gold Coins includes a depiction of various musical instruments. Those musical instruments include a cello in the center, two violins on either side of the cello, a French horn in the left background, a bassoon right behind the cello, and a harp in the right background field. The inscriptions on this side read only Winer Philharmoniker.
