Europe’s best-selling gold coin comes in a size nearly any budget can reach. The 1/10 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic delivers 999.9 fine gold from the Austrian Mint in Vienna, an institution striking coinage for over 800 years, with a €10 face value as legal tender of Austria. The Philharmonic’s celebrated musical design has been continuous since 1989, making every fractional piece instantly recognizable to dealers worldwide.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: 999.9 fine gold, 1/10 troy oz
- Metal Type: Gold
- Obverse Design: The great pipe organ of Vienna’s Musikverein with REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH and the 10 Euro denomination

The obverse presents the massive pipe organ of the Golden Hall in Vienna’s Musikverein, the concert house where the Vienna Philharmonic performs its famous New Year’s Concert. Designer Thomas Pesendorfer rendered the instrument’s ranked pipes, columned casework, and sculpted pediment in architectural detail, with REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH arcing overhead and the 1/10 UNZE GOLD 999.9 fineness and 10 EURO face value inscribed below.
The reverse gathers the orchestra itself. A cello stands at center surrounded by four violins, with a harp, French horn, and bassoon arranged behind them, a composition dense with strings, keys, and scrollwork under the arched legend WIENER PHILHARMONIKER. The design honors an orchestra regarded among the finest on earth since 1842, and it has remained unchanged across the series’ entire run, a consistency that supports the coin’s global liquidity.
The Philharmonic holds the distinction of being the only major bullion coin denominated in euros, and it was twice named the world’s best-selling gold coin. Each 1/10 oz piece arrives in Brilliant Uncirculated condition with full Austrian government backing for weight and purity.
