Item Description: Offered here is a 1998 Austrian Gold Philharmonic, struck by the Austrian Mint (Münze Österreich) in .9999 fine gold. This is the 1/4 oz denomination, with a face value of 500 Austrian Schillings (the pre-Euro currency).

• Country: Austria
• Weight: 1/4 troy ounce (0.25 oz)
• Purity: .9999 fine gold (24 karat)
• Denomination: 500 Schilling (no longer issued, pre-Euro series)

• Obverse: Features the Great Organ of the Golden Hall in Vienna’s Musikverein concert hall, with inscriptions for country, weight, purity, and denomination.

The Austrian Philharmonic is one of the world’s most recognized and trusted bullion coins. Being a 1998-dated 500 Schilling issue, this coin is part of the earlier Schilling series before Austria transitioned to the Euro in 2002, giving it an added layer of collector appeal.
