Introduced in 1989, the 1 oz Gold Philharmonic was available that first year alongside the 1/4 oz gold coin. The series would later expand three times. Two of those expansions of the series occurred early on with the introduction of a 1/10 oz gold coin in 1991 and a 1/2 oz gold coin in 1994. The final expansion occurred in 2014 when the 1/25 oz gold coin was introduced.
All of the 2022 1 oz Gold Austrian Philharmonics are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition from the mint. Individual coins ship in protective flips, with multiples of 20 coins in a plastic tube. You can also get multiples of 100 shipped inside boxes, with a total of 10 separate tubes within the box.
On the obverse of 2022 Gold Austrian Philharmonics is the pipe organ from the Musikverein. The view of the pipe organ looks into the Golden Concert Hall within the building, the primary venue for performances by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The orchestra was formed in 1842, but organized concert performances by an orchestral group were being held in the city of Vienna as early as the mid-1830s.
The reverse side of the 2022 1 oz Gold Philharmonic comes with an image of musical instruments. While the members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra use a wide range of musical instruments, this design captures some of the most common orchestral instruments. Included within the design are a cello, four violins, a harp, a bassoon, and a French horn.
