Product Details

Launched in February 2008, the Vienna Philharmonic silver bullion coin is produced by the Austrian Mint, the official minting authority of Austria. The Austrian Mint has an 800-year tradition of minting some of the most beautiful and technically perfect coins in all of Europe. The Mint's roots date back to 1194 when an enormous silver treasure—from a ransom paid to free England's King Richard the Lionhearted, taken prisoner in Vienna on his way back from the Crusades—was used to create silver coins for the Austrian empire.

Today, the Austrian Mint is one of the most modern and proficient mints in the world and is a leading producer of Euro coinage and pure gold and silver bullion coins.

The Philharmonics tend to tarnish or develop white spots more easily after being touched compared to American eagles or Perth Mint coins. Tarnishing does not affect the silver bullion value but if this is a concern we would recommend American eagles or Australian coins (Koalas, Lunars or Kookaburras).
