Gold Philharmonics – First minted in 1989, the Austrian Philharmonic gold bullion coins were the best-selling gold coins in the world in 1992, 1995 and 1996, according to the World Gold Council.

The obverse of the Gold Philharmonic coin depicts the Great Organ of the Golden Hall in Vienna’s concert hall, the Musikverein.
