Despite the recession silver is in strong demand. This is hardly surpirsing, in turbulent times there is traditionally a move by shrewd investors to purchase those things that have intrinsic value, such as gold, silver and jewellery. Gold and silver are relatively easy to buy and sell and tend to hold their value.

A recent article in The Daily Telegraph confirms the strong demand for silver.

One Ounce Silver Coins

Austrian Philharmonic One Ounce Silver Coins

A new release for 2008 from the Austrian Mint, a one oz Philharmonic using silver with a purity of 99.9%.

The 2009 1oz silver Philharmonica is in stock now for immediate delivery.

Denomination

The denomination, or face value of this one oz coin is 1.50 Euro.

The Austrian Mint explains more about this silver investment 1 oz coin:

"The face value of a bullion coin is appreciably lower than the value of its metal content. The somewhat unusual face value of 1.50 Euro on the new coin is explained by the fact that both the 1 Euro and 2 Euro are reserved for ordinary circulation in Europe."

Design

The design of the one ounc silver Vienna Philharmonic coin is almost identical to the gold philharmonicas, that has been produced since 1989. The only noticeable differences are the words "1 Unze Feinsilber" on the obverse - which translates as "1 ounce fine silver", "Silber" translates as "Silver" on the reverse, and the fact that the silver version has a smooth edge.

Obverse
