Product Details
The Austrian 1 Ducat Gold Coin
Originating in medieval Italy, was first minted in Austria in the early 16th century. Although they lost their status as legal tender in 1857, both 1 and 4 ducat pieces were used as trade coins until 1915, the year shown on these modern re-strikes.
The coin’s design, first struck in 1872, features the year 1915 on its reverse, marking the end of gold coin minting due to the economic constraints of the First World War. This year also precedes the death of Emperor Franz Joseph, who ruled the Austro-Hungarian Empire for 68 years, one of the longest reigns in modern history. His profile graces the coin’s obverse.
Ducat re-strikes are available in 1 or 4 ducat denominations.
You can purchase an exclusive red faux lizard presentation case with a white silk cushion and red velvet inlay separately.

The Gold Austrian Ducat is one of the world’s oldest and purest bullion coins. It contains 98% gold (23.66-carat). Although dated 1915, these coins were re-struck much later and should be considered bullion coins rather than numismatic collector’s pieces. The obverse features Franz Joseph I, while the reverse displays the coat of arms of Austria and a double-headed Imperial Eagle.
