The Austrian Mint (Münze Österreich) has operated in Vienna since the late 12th century, making it one of the oldest mints in the world. Today it functions as a subsidiary of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank, striking Austria's euro circulation coins alongside a globally recognized bullion and numismatic program. The mint's flagship product is the Vienna Philharmonic, issued in gold, silver, and platinum — one of the most widely traded bullion coin series in the world.
Gold Philharmonics are struck in .9999 fine gold and available in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/25 oz sizes. Silver Philharmonics are .999 fine in a 1 oz format. The mint also produces historic gold restrikes — the 100 Corona, 20 Corona, 4 Ducat, and 1 Ducat — that trade near gold melt value and offer an affordable entry point for investors interested in European gold coinage. All Austrian Mint bullion carries legal-tender status in euros.
