Vienna Philharmonic 1 oz Silver Investment Sets 500 Pc.
A coin minted from pure silver. It was the first bullion coin to be issued in Euro currency. It is one of the most desirable bullion coins for investors from all over the world. This is because it represents an excellent investment of capital due to its liquidity, both when selling and buying. The Vienna Philharmonic has been produced by the Austrian Mint since 1989. The design of the coin was created using computer graphics and then transferred to silver. In 1992, 1995 and 1996, the Filharmonik was the best-selling bullion coin in the world. The history of the Austrian Mint (Münze Österreich) dates back to the 12th century, when Austrian Prince Leopold VI demanded 15 tonnes of silver in exchange for the release of British King Richard the Lionheart. The process of melting down the ransom and minting the coins started a long-standing tradition of the Vienna Mint, which became the State Mint during the period of the newly formed Austrian Republic, just after the First World War.The company, which produces 450 million coins a year, is owned by the Central Bank of Austria, so the Austrian Mint's products have government guarantees of bullion purity.
