Bullion Coins

1989 - Present

In 1989, the Austrian Mint surprised many bullion investors by introducing its first bullion coin, the Austrian Philharmonic Gold Bullion Coin.

Initially, the gold bullion coins were only available in two sizes the 1 oz. and 1/4 oz.

However, in 1991, the Mint introduced the 1/10 oz, and in 1994, it started to mint the 1/2 oz gold bullion coin.

The Austrian Philharmonic gold bullion coin is struck in pure, .9999 fine gold.

Recently, in 2014, the Austrian Mint commemorated the initial launch of the coin, by introducing the 1/25 oz Austrian Philharmonic Gold bullion coin.
