Completed in 1872 by Friedrich Ladegast, this instrument has been expanded and maintained by several organ builders over time to preserve its unique sound.

The reverse side of the 2026 Philharmonic 1/25 oz Gold Coins features a collection of instruments tied to the Vienna Philharmonic.

History

The Musikvereins Golden Hall has served as the Vienna Philharmonics home venue since opening in 1870, becoming closely linked to the orchestras reputation. Built by the Society of Music Friends (Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde), the concert hall survived both world wars largely intact and underwent careful restorations that maintained its world-class acoustics while introducing modern amenities.
