History

The Austrian Philharmonic coin was first minted in 1989 as a one-ounce gold coin. The platinum version was not introduced until 2016. The platinum coin has always had its face value in euros, but earlier versions of the Philharmonic Coin, such as the initial gold coin, were denominated in Austrian Schillings. That of course changed once the euro was introduced for usage across the eurozone.
