The first coins issued were the gold bullion coins that launched in 1989 with 1 oz and 1/4 oz options. The series has since expanded to include three additional fractional-ounce gold coins, a 1 oz silver coin, and a 1 oz platinum coin. Provident Metals currently has 2008 Austrian Philharmonic 1 oz Gold Coins available to you for purchase online.
