    The organizing committee here in Singapore is honored to announce that on display at the SICF this year will be one of the largest gold coins ever minted. This 1,000-ounce (68-pounds/31 Kilograms) gold coin was specially arranged to come to Singapore by the Austrian Mint, and is the largest coin ever produced in their iconic and famous “Philharmonic Orchestra” program. At the time it was produced, it was recorded as the largest gold coin in the world by Guinness World Records. It features a face value of €100,000 Euros, with a diameter of 37 centimeters and a thickness of 2 centimeters. The total weight is a massive 31.103 Kilograms of 999.9 pure gold. The 1,000-ounce Austrian Philharmonic gold coin will be on display for 3 days only, at the Sands Expo and Convention Center during the Singapore International Coin Fair. This is the first time a coin this big has been in Singapore.

    I was under the impression that these coins were "molded", not "minted".
