History
The Austrian Mint traces its origins to 1194, when Richard the Lionheart paid 12 tonnes of silver to Duke Leopold V of Austria for his release, and Leopold had coins struck from it in Vienna. When the Republic of Austria was formed in 1918, the Vienna Principal Mint became the country's only mint. It still works from its building on the Heumarkt in Vienna, completed in 1838.
In 1989 it was renamed the Austrian Mint (Münze Österreich) and became a subsidiary of the Austrian National Bank. The gold Vienna Philharmonic went on sale on 10 October 1989 in 99.99% pure gold. The one-ounce silver Vienna Philharmonic followed in February 2008, and a platinum version in February 2016.
