These flaws are limited to minor issues such as breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, and contact marks.
Thomas Pesendorfer is the Chief Engraver of the Austrian Mint, and created the imagery used on the Gold Philharmonic upon its release in 1989. To this day, the Silver and Platinum Philharmonic coins used the same design Pesendorfer created for both sides back in 1989 with no changes other than the denomination of the face values.
In this product listing, Bullion Metals offers you the chance to purchase a ½ oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic coin. Each one contains .9999 pure gold content with a face value of 50 (Euro). The random years of issue range from the 1994 introduction of the ½ oz coin to the latest release. Bullion Metals cannot guarantee the year of issue you’ll receive, with coins sold based upon availability in our warehouse when your order is fulfilled for shipping.
On the obverse of the ½ oz Austrian Gold Philharmonic Coin is the image of the Musikverein Pipe Organ. Located inside the Golden Hall, it is a centerpiece of all performances by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
The reverse of the Gold Philharmonic Coin features a collection of musical instruments used by members of the orchestra during performances. Included in the design are the Vienna horn, bassoon, harp, and four violins. All of these instruments are centered on the image of a cello.
The Austrian Mint is the official sovereign mint of the nation, and was founded back in 1194 by Leopold V. Leopold reportedly used 15 tonnes of silver paid by England’s Richard the Lionheart for safe passage on his return from the Crusades with his armies in the Middle East.

Shipping & Insurance Guarantee / FAQ
All UPS & FedEx shipments ship with a “No Will Call” restriction, meaning the package cannot be picked up from a UPS or FedEx location or just left at the delivery address. This is a precaution to prevent orders from being fraudulently intercepted.
UPS or FedEx will make three delivery attempts. If nobody is available at the delivery address to sign and accept delivery, the package will be returned to us.
Please note that Bullion Metals will not be responsible for reimbursements or insurance claims on packages that are successfully delivered as addressed. Our liability and insurance cease the moment the package is signed for or left at the specified delivery address. Any issues or problems with a shipment MUST be reported to Bullion Metals within two (2) calendar days of recorded delivery, else Bullion Metals may deny any claim.
For more details, please read our Terms & Conditions, which control to the extent anything in this fact sheet differs.
Though unlikely, if your order is damaged during transit and/or any items are missing we require you to contact Bullion Metals immediately so we can begin the claims process. If you have taken possession of a shipment that is damaged and/or is missing items, you have 2 days (48 hours) from the date of delivery to contact us as stated in our Terms and Conditions.
All packages shipped by Bullion Metals are covered by insurance subject to certain conditions. In the unlikely event that your order is Lost in Transit, you need to contact us immediately. Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.
Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.
See also Section 13 of our Terms and Conditions.
We recommend you refuse any shipment that appears to be damaged or tampered with as the shipping insurance ends once signed for and/or delivered. When refused, the package(s) will return to Bullion Metals for inspection. If you have taken possession of a damaged or tampered package, please save all packaging and contact Bullion Metals at 1-800-276-6508 within 48 hours for further instructions. Failure to notify us of damage or tampering within 48 hours from signature or delivery date may impact our ability to cover your claim.
For more details, please read our Terms & Conditions, which control to the extent anything in this fact sheet differs.
Bullion Metals fully insures all its shipments. Should anything happen while your package is in transit to you, it will be covered by our insurance policy subject to the conditions outlined in our Terms & Conditions.
We can ship to various stores, including UPS Stores, mail and packing stores, freight forwarders, and more. However, these are private businesses not owned by UPS, USPS, etc. Therefore, our shipping insurance does not cover missing packages or items sent to these locations if the tracking indicates that they were delivered.
Yes! When products are shipped via the United States Postal Service, we can ship to a P.O. Box. Please note that insurance on shipments to P.O. Boxes ends as soon as the package shows delivered.
All orders will ship from our warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada. We mask our return address on all packages as to not give away the contents of the package.
When you will receive your order depends primarily on three factors
When we receive your payment (checks and wires must be initiated/sent by you).
Please note that you will receive a Paid email once your payment is received.
Holding period after cleared payment.
Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
Shipping method and transit time.
UPS 3-Day Air is the fastest and most reliable method of shipping. These are usually delivered in 1-3 business days once in transit.
USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.
We do not ship to US territories. Due to special requirements set by the postal systems, we are unable to ship outside of U.S. states.
Unfortunately, due to the way insurance is applied to an order, everything must ship at the same time (i.e., in-stock items must await shipment until all presale items have arrived). Your order will ship in its entirety within 24-72 hours of our receiving the presale item. An email notification will be sent when your order ships.
You may choose how your order is shipped during the checkout process. In the last section of the checkout page, “4 Shipping Method,” you will see the available shipping options for your order. If your purchase is eligible for free shipping, the pre-selected option will be base shipping, which is either USPS, UPS, or FedEx at our choice. If you would like to upgrade your shipping, you may choose one of the other options for a small fee. Simply click on the circle next to the shipping method you desire, and your order will be shipped via that method.
We will notify you by email once your order ships. You can also check the current status by logging in to your account or using our Track An Order page.
Depending on your method of payment, it is possible to have your order shipped to an address other than your billing address. If you pay with paper check, bank wire, ACH, Ethereum, Ripple, or bitcoin, you may have your order shipped wherever you please, with two exceptions—UPS locations and mail forwarding locations. If you pay with a credit/debit card, it depends on your order history. For credit cards, put the order through with your billing address as the shipping address, and then call us to see if we can change it to an alternate. If you pay via PayPal, your order must ship to a PayPal Verified address.
We only ship to U.S. addresses (including P.O. Boxes and APO addresses). We do not ship to U.S. territories.
Orders under $1000 will not require a signature unless that option is selected and paid for at checkout. Orders over $1000 will always require a signature for delivery. Please note, per our Terms and Conditions, once a package shows delivered, our responsibility ends. Please be available and attentive to receive the package when the courier arrives.
Orders are shipped in inconspicuous packaging via either USPS, UPS or FedEx.* All shipments are fully insured. Our shipping policy, which is based on order size, can be viewed here.
*UPS 3-Day Air excludes Alaska, Hawaii, PO Boxes, UPS Store, and APO addresses. No Will Call pickups permitted. Saturday service not included.
