1 oz Vienna Philharmonic 2022

The first 99.99 percent purity European silver bullion coin, the Austrian Mint first issued Vienna Philharmonic coins in silver on 01 February 2008. A million coins had been struck within a month of the date of issue, and by the end of the year, almost eight million had been produced. Only ever available in the one-ounce format, sales have remained in the multi-millions ever since, peaking at almost 18 million in 2011. That makes it the world’s third biggest silver bullion coin after the American Silver Eagle and the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf, although if depressed sales in 2014 translate into similar 2015 numbers, it may lose its title to Perth’s Kangaroo silver bullion coin for which the mint is making extravagant claims.
