Austrian Mint

Various refineries located in Austrian towns, dated back to the twelfth century, merged together in 1918 to form one mint, the Austrian Mint. This mint was made a subsidiary of the Austrian National Bank in 1989, refining Gold and Silver bars and coins. The world famous Vienna Philharmonic Gold Coin featuring the Great Organ in the Golden Hall, Vienna, was the best selling gold coin of 1992, 1995 and 1996. The Austrian Mint produces around 200,000 ounces of precious metal bars and coins every month.
