The obverse design of the 2025 1/2 oz Gold Philharmonic Coin showcases the Great Pipe Organ. This magnificent instrument is located in the Golden Concert Hall, the main music venue of the Musikverein. The current organ, installed in 2011, is the third to be housed in the hall, having replaced an organ that was in use since 1907.

On the reverse, the 2025 Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coin features a collection of musical instruments. A cello is prominently displayed at the center, accompanied by four violins in the foreground. In the background, you can find a French horn, bassoon, and harp, creating a harmonious design that reflects the beauty of music.

These coins pay tribute to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, a cherished national symbol of Austria. The orchestra has a rich history, evolving over time while balancing tradition with progress. Notably, it maintained a controversial policy of excluding women from permanent membership until it was changed in 1997.

These 2025 1/2 oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coins are available individually in plastic flips or in sets of 10 within acrylic tubes. Each coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. While the series began in 1989, the 1/2 oz gold coin was first issued in 1994.
