The Vienna Silver Philharmonic coin from the prestigious Austrian Mint is the official bullion coin of Austria. The coin is named for the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra, which inspired the design of both sides with detailed engravings by the renown chief engraver of the Austrian Mint, Thomas Pesendorfer. This masterfully designed coin consists of .999 fine silver and is impressively large. The Vienna Philharmonic is currently the only European bullion coin with a face value in euros, although it is only legal tender in Austria. In 2004, the Vienna Philharmonic accounted for 35 to 40 percent of sales in Europe. It is also popular in Japan and North America. The Silver American Eagle coin is very popular with investors, and may be used to fund Individual Retirement Account investments.
