Description
The Austria 1 Ducat Gold Coin is a small Austrian Mint coin of .986 fine gold, holding 0.1106 troy ounce of pure gold. Dates vary. On the 1915-dated ducat, Friedrich Leisek engraved both sides: the obverse shows Emperor Franz Joseph I facing right, with a laurel wreath tied with a ribbon, and the reverse carries the arms of Austria on a crowned double-headed eagle. Franz Joseph died in 1916, and the Austrian Mint has kept striking the ducat with the date frozen at 1915, so a 1915 coin may be a later restrike. Austria has struck gold ducats since 1511, and this one is a handsome small piece of imperial Austrian gold with five centuries of history behind it.
