With the highest possible fineness of 999.9, the best-selling pure gold coin comes in a size to fit all budgets, from 1 ounce to 1/25 ounce.
Münze Österreich AG stands for the highest precision in the processing of precious metals and combines centuries-old craftsmanship with state-of-the-art production technology. This combination forms the basis for one of the world’s most successful bullion coins: the Vienna Philharmonic in gold, silver and platinum.
As a symbol of quality, stability and trust, our products embody sustainable manufacturing, the responsible use of resources, and international recognition. Our range is complemented by high-quality gold bars as well as traditional reproductions of historical coins such as crowns, gulden (guilders) and ducats in gold.
Made in the heart of Vienna, our products combine tradition and innovation to deliver a clear commitment to quality – and embody enduring values.
Certain things become more valuable over time, while others gain additional value through closeness. In an environment characterised by constant change, evolving conditions and global dynamics, one factor is becoming increasingly crucial: trust in provenance.
The Austrian Mint produces the Vienna Philharmonic in the middle of Europe – in the heart of Vienna. This is not only a geographical advantage, but also a strategic one, as we are not reliant on intercontinental supply chains or external influences. Our European partners know: what they order will be delivered.
We have impressively demonstrated this reliability during the challenging periods seen in recent years. While others were forced to adjust their production, we have maintained not only consistent quality but also our ability to deliver.
After all, those who invest in gold are not just looking for value – they are also looking for reliability and trust. And it is precisely these values that investors find in a product that stands for purity, stability and continuity: the Vienna Philharmonic.
The Vienna Philharmonic coins in gold, silver and platinum have been among the world’s most successful bullion coins for years – minted in the heart of Vienna and valued the world over.
That speaks for itself.
We are here for our investors – and for you!
That is what our staff work towards, day after day. With pride and the awareness that trust is the most valuable asset we help shape – and have done for more than 830 years.
Proximity creates trust. Now more than ever.
On the basis of the directives governing money-laundering and counterterrorism, we are required to establish the identity of the buyer for sales within six months and for an accumulated value of € 10,000 or more. Without exception, a valid passport, identity card or driving licence is required as proof of identity. Legal basis: money-laundering legislation under §§ 165 and 278d of the Austrian Criminal Code (Strafgesetzbuch). The regulation in the country in which the purchase is made applies. The customer is responsible for complying with the reporting obligation when importing into the country of residence.
For purchases in the Münze Österreich shop in Vienna (Am Heumarkt 1, 1030 Vienna) (link), our employees are required to ask for identification, even if two or more buyers appear to be connected.
Furthermore, transactions exceeding a value of € 75,000 may only be concluded if the money is paid by bank transfer (no cash payment). The limit of € 75,000 within six months is likewise cumulative.
Gold can be purchased VAT-free in the European Union and in most countries around the world. Other investment metals such as silver, platinum, or palladium are subject to sales tax.
Gold bars are tax-free if they have a weight accepted on the gold market and if their fineness is at least 99.5%. All of our gold bars meet these criteria.
Gold coins are exempt from VAT if, firstly, they have a fineness of at least 90%. Secondly, if they are or have been considered legal tender in their country of origin. This means that investment coins such as the Vienna Philharmonic are exempt from tax. The same applies to Austrian commercial gold coins such as ducats, crowns, and guilders.
