The Austrian Mint has had a profound influence upon the culture, the economy and everyday life of Austria, Europe, and the financial world for over eight centuries. About 800 years ago, the Austrian Babenberg Duke, Leopold V, took King Richard the Lionhearted of England prisoner after an argument in the Holy Land. When the King's ransom was paid, a part of the silver was used to found the Vienna Mint in 1194. Every coin collector has some silver coins stored away in their collection. Now, investors and collectors alike can acquire these gorgeous new Silver Philharmonic Coins from Vienna. The skillful crafting by hand techniques are the distinguishing features of the Austrian Mint and are indispensible for the final quality of its silver coins. • Extremely Fine Craftsmanship - The Austrian Mint is known worldwide for its reputation for creating artful engraving through the fine minting process. Each finely crafted Silver Philharmonic Coin contains 1 troy ounce of fine silver. • Minted in Solid Silver - Each 2008 Austrian Philharmonic Silver coin is struck in 99.9% pure silver. These coins are minted with extremely intricate details and are almost identical to the Gold Philharmonic coins, with a few additions. • World Class Design - The obverse of each brand new Silver Philharmonic coin bears the inscription “1 Unze Feinsilber,” or “1 ounce pure silver,” located below the “Great Pipe Organ” of Vienna’s Golden Concert Hall, home of the Philharmonic. The obverse also bears the country of issue– Republic of Austria, “Republik Oesterreich,” the year of issue 2008, and the face value of €1.5 Euros. The reverse of each Silver Philharmonic coin displays an incredibly popular design– the bouquet of Philharmonic instruments with the word “Silber” featured directly above. This gorgeous new silver coin also has a smooth edge which is different from the Gold Philharmonic’s reeded edge. |
