Key Features

Historical sites and landmarks are frequently the subject of popular coinage. For Austrians, few historical landmarks are as easily recognizable as the Musikverein, home of the world renowned Austrian Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as the prized Great Pipe Organ.

 

This coin features a depiction of both struck with a fourth of an ounce of .9999 pure gold bullion.  The Great Pipe Organ was installed for the first time in 1872. It was replaced with a new version of the famous organ in 1907, and it still stands today. The massive organ takes up the entire back wall of the Musikverein, towering over twenty feet into the air and centered on the stage.

 

When it’s used, the booming sound of the organ fills the entire concert hall, which can house hundreds of patrons on any given night.  The obverse of the 2021 ¼ Oz Austria Gold Philharmonic Coin is adorned with the instantly recognizable symbol of this incredible musical fixture.

 

Below the Musikverein Great Pipe Organ is the weight, purity, year, and face value of the collectable coin. The German name for the country of Austria is inscribed at the top of the coin. The intricate detail of the Great Pipe Organ really shines with the high purity gold composition of this piece, giving it an incredibly detailed appearance. 

 

The reverse of this coin takes a novel turn, displaying simple lined depictions of eight popular instruments used in Austrian orchestras, including a Vienna horn, a harp, a bassoon, a cello, and four violins.

 

The front and reverse of this coin paint a comprehensive picture of the unparalleled history and aesthetic of Vienna’s musical background.  For fans of music and culture, it’s hard to underestimate the collectable value of the 2021 ¼ Oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coin.
