== History == |
|||
The coin was first issued on 1 February 2008 with 7,773,000 units minted which is the lowest amount minted for any year in the series until 2014. Mintage of the coins peaked in 2011 when 17,873,700 coins were struck, making it the most common date. Mintage totals for the 2020 issues have yet to be released by the Austrian Mint.<ref name="Austrian Mint" /> With no [[key date]]s issued as of yet, the value of each Silver Vienna Philharmonic remains near the current spot price of silver without inflation of numismatic value. |
|||
== Design == |

The design for the coin was originally created by Thomas Pesendorfer to be used for the GoldVieena Philharmonic that was first issued in 1989.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://world.mintnewsblog.com/2012/04/austrian-philharmonic-silver-bullion-coins/ |title=Austrian Philharmonic Silver Bullion Coins |publisher=World Mint News Blog |date=13 April 2020 |accessdate=20 February 2020}}</ref> The Austrian Mint introduced the silver version of the coin in 2008. The design was unchanged and has remained the same each year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://worldmintcoins.com/world-gold-silver-bullion-coins/austrian-vienna-philharmonic-silver-bullion-coin |title=Austrian Vienna Philharmonic Silver Bullion Coin |publisher=World Mint Coins |accessdate=20 February 2020}}</ref> |
