Münze Österreich
An orchestra in platinum, since 2016.
In February 2016, the Wiener Philharmoniker was also issued in platinum, with a platinum content of 999.5 parts per thousand and the same design as in gold and silver.
You are looking at the side with the instruments.
The organ in the Golden Hall
One side of the coin shows the organ in the Great Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna, often called the Golden Hall (Goldener Saal).
Its case forms a single whole with the hall, and the silent pipes of its façade still come from the first organ. Behind it today stands the hall’s fourth organ, the work of the Vorarlberg firm Rieger, in place since 2011. The first was presented in 1872, and Anton Bruckner improvised on it.
In the Golden Hall, the Wiener Philharmoniker play their New Year’s Concert.
50 million
According to the orchestra, about this many people watch the New Year’s Concert, broadcast to more than 150 countries.
The instruments
The other side shows instruments of the orchestra the coin is named after. Above them are the words WIENER PHILHARMONIKER.
The design is the work of Thomas Pesendorfer, later chief engraver at Münze Österreich. It has remained the same since it was first struck, in gold, silver and platinum.
The Vienna horn

The metal
PLATIN beneath the lettering
On the platinum coin, the word PLATIN appears in small letters beneath WIENER PHILHARMONIKER, while the gold coin has no word there. The side with the organ reads 1 UNZE PLATIN 999.5.
