In 1989, Thomas Pesendorfer designed Europe’s leading bullion coin, the Gold Vienna Philharmonic . Beginning in 2008, this same design was featured on the Austrian Silver Philharmonic. Minted in .999 pure silver by the Austrian Mint in Vienna, the Austrian Silver Philharmonic is the first silver bullion coin denominated in euros.
The obverse of the Silver Philharmonic coin displays the the Great Pipe Organ in Vienna's Golden Hall, which houses the Austrian Philharmonic Orchestra. Based in Vienna, the nation’s capital and one of Europe’s premier cultural centers, the orchestra has been performing to great acclaim since 1842. It has long been regarded as one of the finest orchestras in the world, and these elegant coins celebrate the orchestra’s contribution to Austrian culture and history. The reverse depicts a medley of instruments from the world-famous orchestra.
