The legend REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH arcs around the upper periphery in bold raised Latin lettering. Below the architectural motif, the fineness inscription 1/10 UNZE GOLD 999.9 appears horizontally across the field, with the year of issue beneath it.

Reverse description An artistically composed group of orchestral instruments fills the central field, featuring four violins arranged in the foreground, a cello at centre, a French horn to the upper left, a bassoon and clarinet rising vertically at centre, and a concert harp prominently displayed to the upper right. The composition is finely engraved with careful attention to the details of each instrument's body, strings, and keys. The curved legend WIENER PHILHARMONIKER arcs across the upper periphery in stylised raised Latin lettering, evoking the calligraphic tradition of Viennese concert posters.
