Obverse — the Musikverein organ

The obverse shows the great organ in the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein, the concert hall of the Vienna Philharmonic. Around it are the inscription REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH, the weight, fineness, face value and year.

Reverse — the instruments of the orchestra

The reverse arranges instruments of the orchestra: a Vienna horn, a bassoon, a harp, four violins and a cello at the centre. The design is by Thomas Pesendorfer, chief engraver of the Austrian Mint, and has been used since the first gold issue in 1989.

Mixed years — what you receive

The design has been the same since the silver series began in 2008, so coins from different years differ only by date. The year cannot be chosen for this listing. The price is below that of the Vienna Philharmonic 2026 because there is no premium for the current issue.

VAT — margin scheme

Silver is not covered by the exemption for gold bullion (Article 122 of the Polish VAT Act). Mixed-year Philharmonics are sold under the VAT margin scheme (Article 120): only the dealer margin is taxed and the tax is not itemised on the invoice. Current-year silver coins carry the standard 23% rate.

Storage

Silver tones gradually in air. Weight and fineness do not change, but a clean surface is valued higher at resale. Keep the coin dry and away from rubber and wool.
