The Kingdom of the Netherlands played a major role in the global recognition of the ducat as a key trade denomination.
In 1511, Emperor Maximilian, Holy Roman Emperor, initiated the minting of ducats in Austria. The Kingdom of Austria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire continued producing these coins. The Austrian Mint struck the final gold ducats in 1914, just before the outbreak of World War I.
The obverse features a right-facing profile of Emperor Franz Joseph I. He ruled the Austro-Hungarian Empire from its founding in 1867 until his death in 1916. The portrait depicts a younger Franz Joseph I, adorned with a laurel wreath crown. The Latin inscriptions around the design pay homage to his imperial reign.
The reverse showcases the majestic coat of arms of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, dominated by the crowned double-headed eagle, a symbol of power and unity. The eagle supports the shield of the Habsburg Dynasty, reflecting the family’s dominance over Austria throughout its history.
