The Austrian Mint was first mentioned in documents in 1397. As a long-established mint, it produces a wide range of investment and collector's products made of precious metals. The range includes commemorative, gift and collector's coins. In addition, this manufacturer of precious metals produces high-quality gold bars and investment coins.

The "Vienna Philharmonic" gold coin was first traded in October 1989. At the beginning, only denominations of 1 ounce and 1/4 ounce were minted. From 1991, the denomination of the Vienna Philharmonic gold coins was expanded to 1/10 ounce, and in 1994, coins with 1/2 ounce were added to the range. From 2008, the range was expanded to include the 1 ounce silver coin of the Vienna Philharmonic.
