How much is an Austrian 1/2oz Philharmoniker gold coin worth?

27th December 2025: Today, we're paying £1,546.48 for half ounce Philharmonics.

The Half Philharmoniker gold coin entered the burgeoning world bullion scene in 1994, a few years after the first examples were minted. Today the Austrian Philharmoniker, or Vienna Philharmonic, coin boasts a long history of being one of the most popular gold bullion offerings worldwide, with the 1/2oz edition much to thank.

Each Half Philharmoniker coin holds 0.500 troy ounce of pure gold, achieved through striking the coin at the Austrian Mint in 24ct gold. The musical design, including a representation of the organ in Vienna's Golden Hall, is presented across the 28.00 millimetre diameter of the Half - which is, for reference, a little larger than the UK 50 Pence.
