The grand pipe organ from within the Musikverein is visible on the obverse side of 2022 1 oz Austrian Platinum Philharmonic Coins. This pipe organ is a central fixture of the Golden Concert Hall, the main performance venue within the building and the home of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra when it performs in Austria. 

Musical instruments are clustered on the reverse side of 2022 Austrian Platinum Philharmonic Coins. This design field includes a cello in the central foreground, with two violins on each side. The background includes a French horn, bassoon, and a harp from left to right across the design field.

As demand for precious metals skyrocketed in 2020 and prices soared, several coin programs around the world benefited from renewed demand.
