Gold 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 coin was 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.

Furthermore, in 2014, the Austrian Mint commemorated the anniversary of the gold bullion coin's initial launch by introducing the 1/25 oz Austrian Philharmonic Gold bullion coin.
