About the Silver Philharmonic
The Silver Vienna Philharmonic was first issued in 2008, nineteen years after the gold edition. It shares the same iconic design: the Great Organ of the Vienna Concert Hall on the reverse and the instruments of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra on the obverse. Struck in 99.9% fine silver at the Austrian Mint, it is produced to the same exacting standards as the gold coin.
The coin weighs one troy ounce (31.1 grams) and measures 37 mm in diameter, slightly thicker than its gold counterpart due to silver's lower density. It is packaged in a protective capsule and sold in tubes of 20 or monster boxes of 500 for bulk buyers.
The Silver Philharmonic Is GST-Free in Australia
Investment-grade silver (99.9% pure or better) is GST-free in Australia, just like investment gold. The bullion Silver Philharmonic is struck at 99.9% fineness and trades on its silver content, so no GST is charged when you buy it from an Australian dealer. GST only applies to collectable, proof and numismatic pieces and to lower-purity silver.

Questions about the Silver Philharmonic
Does GST apply to the Silver Philharmonic in Australia?
No. The Silver Philharmonic is struck from 99.9% pure silver, which meets the 99.9% threshold for investment silver, so it is GST-free in Australia, just like investment gold. Proof and other collector versions usually attract GST.
Silver Philharmonic vs Silver Kangaroo: which is better?
Both coins are 99.9% pure silver and widely accepted by Australian dealers. Silver Kangaroos are minted by the Perth Mint and carry AUD face value, making them the natural choice for Australian buyers and often slightly easier to resell domestically. Philharmonics have deeper global recognition. In practice, premiums are similar for the 1 oz size. Check our live price comparison table to see which is cheaper right now from Australian dealers.
