The ducat was a popular trade coin used throughout Europe from the late Middle Ages until the start of the 20th century. Among the last ducat coinage struck was that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the months leading up to the start of World War I. The 1915 4 Ducat Austrian/Dutch Gold Coin is now available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Ducat coinage has a long and very complex history in Europe. The first coins were actually issued by King Roger II of Sicily in 1140. The coins were offered in gold and silver, and most commonly used as trade coins. The Kingdom of the Netherlands is widely regarded as being responsible for the global spread of the ducat as a denomination globally recognized on the order of the British Pound Sterling and United States dollar today.
For its part, Austria began to issue gold ducats as early as 1511 during the reign of Emperor Maximilian, the Holy Roman Emperor. The ducat was issued by Austria through its time as the Kingdom of Austria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The final gold ducats struck and released into active circulation were produced by the Austrian Mint in 1914. These 1915 4 Ducat Austrian/Dutch Gold Coins have those 1914 designs.
On the obverse side of the 1915 4 Ducat Austrian Gold Coin is the image of Franz Joseph I, Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from its 1867 formation until his death in 1916. The coins capture Franz Joseph I in right-profile relief wearing a wreath crown on his head. The design here captures the image of a younger Joseph I than he was at the time of his death. The inscriptions around the edge are in Latin.
The reverse face of 1915 4 Ducat Austrian/Dutch Gold Coins includes the coat of arms of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The double-headed eagle is crowned and supports the shield of the Hapsburg Dynasty that ruled over the Austrian Empire for the entirety of its existence.
These 1915 4 Ducat Austrian/Dutch Gold Coins are available to you in About Uncirculated-plus condition, meaning the coins have only slight signs of wear on the highest points of design elements. These coins are restrikes produced by the Austrian Mint with a 1915 date mark.
