The 1 oz Austrian Silver Philharmonic is another great silver coin that can add diversity to your silver investments. Introduced by the Austrian mint in 2008, the coin is one of the most highly minted and popular silver European coins. In Austria, the Silver Philharmonic can be used as legal tender and has a purity of .999 fine silver.

Like the Austrian Gold Philharmonic, the design of this coin is exquisite and makes a great gift for music lovers. On the obverse is a beautiful pipe organ in the Vienna Musikverein's Golden Hall. The reverse features a variety of instruments played by the Vienna Philharmonic including a Vienna horn, bassoon, harp, and four violins centered on a cello. Intricately designed by chief engraver of the Austrian Mint, Thomas Pesendorfer, you really get a feel for the appreciation of the arts in Austrian culture in this coin.

The Vienna Philharmonic is currently the only European silver bullion coin with a face value in euros. You can buy individual coins, tubes of 20, or larger quantities like the mint box which contains 500 coins.
