Monster Raffle Prize: An Austrian Philharmonic Silver Coin

Right before leaving for our trip, I purchased a number of Monster Raffle tickets, hoping to perhaps win some shiny. While I was away (with limited internet access) I found that I had won an Austrian Philharmonic Silver Coin! Minted 2023, it's in perfect shape, very shiny, featuring the Great Pipe Organ on the obverse and musical instruments on the reverse.

It's a beautiful coin, only the 16th edition of the silver version, previously these were only available in gold.

  • Brilliant Uncirculated
  • 1 ozt 0.999 pure silver
  • Face value: 1.50 Austrian Euro Legal Tender
  • Design: Thomas Pesendorfer 1989 gold coin
  • No ridge

The obverse features the Great Pipe Organ in Vienna, at the back of the Great Hall of Musikverein. Inscriptions read "Republik Osterreich" and "1 unze feinsilber" representing the coin's weigh in German.

The reverse design is a cluster of musical instrument: a cello, four violins, a harp, a bassoon and a horn. Inscription says "Wiener Philharmoniker"

A Special Design, A Special Bullion

Because these coins were previously only minted in gold, having this design in silver is a very special treat. Gold and silver has been used as legal tender for centuries, which provides great financial stability. Many experts suggest that any form of silver bullion, bars or coins or rounds, may offer a sensible investment opportunity as a preservation of wealth if financial systems become insolvent and during times of economic uncertainty.

How much would 1 ozt of silver be worth in the coming days, months and years? I purchased a large portion of my collection while silver was between $12.00 and $13.00 / ozt. Now we are looking at values double that, between $24.00 and $26.00 / ozt. Currently, silver is around $22/ozt which is a good price at the moment.

Thank you @silversaver888 for sending this beautiful coin out to our family. It will be a part of our family's treasure stash for years to come, passed down for posterity. Perhaps someday, this will come in very handy during economic instability. In the mean-time, it's a gorgeous addition to the stack and much appreciated. Thank you.

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.
