Fit notes
- Warm hands measure slightly larger; measure at the end of the day.
- Wider bands feel tighter—consider half size up for bands ≥6 mm.
- Knuckle vs. base: choose a size that passes the knuckle but fits snug at the base.
For eternity/comfort-fit bands, professional sizing is recommended.
1oz Gold Austrian Philharmonic (2009) – London Gold Emporium, Hatton Garden
The 1oz Gold Austrian Philharmonic (2009) is one of the most internationally recognised gold bullion coins in the world. The Austrian Mint strikes every Philharmonic coin to a fineness of 999.9, ensuring the highest gold purity available in modern bullion coinage. Moreover, the 2009 annual issue attracts both systematic gold investors and year-specific collectors who value the Philharmonic series for its cultural distinction and strong global liquidity. At London Gold Emporium, we authenticate every coin before offering it for sale, so clients can invest with complete confidence.
Purity & Certification
The Austrian Mint produces this coin in 999.9 fineness (99.99% pure gold) — one of the highest purity standards in global bullion coinage. As a result, it exceeds the HMRC threshold for investment gold and qualifies for full UK VAT exemption. Furthermore, the Austrian Philharmonic holds legal tender status in Austria, which underpins its international recognition and strong resale liquidity across global precious metals markets.
Weight & Dimensions
This coin carries a total weight and pure gold content of 31.10 grams (1 troy ounce), fully reflecting its 999.9 fineness. On the obverse, the iconic Great Pipe Organ of the Musikverein Golden Hall in Vienna represents Austria’s deep-rooted classical music heritage. In addition, the reverse presents a carefully composed arrangement of orchestral instruments associated with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, including the violin, cello, harp, and horn — making this coin as visually distinguished as it is financially significant.
