1 oz Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coin – Backdated

A 1 oz Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coin – Backdated contains one troy ounce (31.1 grams) of 99.9% pure (.999 fine) silver and is produced by the Austrian Mint.

This is a backdated or any-year product, so the exact year supplied will vary according to availability. We generally source lower-cost previous-year Silver Philharmonic coins where available, although current-year coins may be supplied when backdated stock is unavailable.

Why Buy Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coins?

The Austrian Silver Philharmonic is an internationally recognised investment silver coin produced by the Austrian Mint. Its design is inspired by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, giving the coin a distinctive appearance among major international bullion coins.

A 1 oz Austrian Silver Philharmonic offers:

• 1 troy ounce of silver – 31.1 grams
• 99.9% pure silver – .999 fineness
• Austrian Mint production – from an established European sovereign mint
• Legal tender status – with a face value of €1.50
• International recognition – a widely recognised investment silver bullion coin
• Flexible bulk buying – without requiring the purchase of a full 500-coin monster box

Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coin Specifications

The Austrian Silver Philharmonic Design

The Silver Philharmonic takes its design inspiration from the world-famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

One side features the Great Organ of the Golden Hall in Vienna’s Musikverein, while the other depicts a selection of orchestral instruments. Unlike many bullion coin series, the Philharmonic’s core design remains consistent from year to year.

Backdated Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coins

Backdated Silver Philharmonics are previous-year coins sourced according to availability. The exact year supplied is not guaranteed.

We generally source previous issues when they provide a lower-cost way to buy Austrian Silver Philharmonic coins. However, if backdated stock is unavailable or current-year coins offer better value, current-year coins may be supplied instead.

For investors primarily buying silver for its bullion value, this can provide greater flexibility without needing to select a particular year of issue.

Buy Coins, 20-Coin Tubes or Monster Boxes

This product is no longer limited to a 500-coin monster box. You can choose a smaller quantity of backdated Austrian Silver Philharmonic coins to suit your investment.

Austrian Silver Philharmonic coins are packaged in tubes of 20 coins, containing 20 troy ounces of silver per full tube. A full Austrian Silver Philharmonic monster box contains 25 tubes, or 500 individual 1 oz silver coins.

Depending on the quantity ordered and available stock, coins may be supplied in full or partly filled tubes, or in original mint monster-box packaging for larger orders.

This provides greater flexibility while retaining the option for investors looking to buy Austrian Silver Philharmonic coins in bulk.

Legal Tender Silver Bullion

The Austrian Silver Philharmonic has a face value of €1.50. However, its investment value is primarily determined by its silver content, the silver price and the premium applying to the coin rather than its legal tender face value.

Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coins for New Zealand Investors

The Silver Philharmonic gives New Zealand investors an internationally recognised European option when diversifying their physical silver holdings across different sovereign mints and bullion products.

Its one-ounce size provides flexibility when building or selling part of a silver holding, while larger quantities provide an option for investors making a more substantial silver purchase.

Buy Backdated Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coins in New Zealand

This product is sold as a backdated, previous-issue or any-year 1 oz Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coin. The exact year supplied will depend on availability, and current-year coins may occasionally be supplied where they provide the best available option.

Whether you’re buying a smaller quantity, a 20-coin tube, or a larger order such as a 500-coin monster box, this product provides flexible access to internationally recognised Austrian Mint silver bullion.
