Description
Sharps Pixley is delighted to offer the commemorative Austrian 4 Ducat Gold Coin, made by the Austrian Mint and containing 23 carat gold, or 986 fineness. The Austrian 4 Ducat is considered one of the world’s oldest and purist bullion gold coins.
On the obverse of the gold coin is a portrait of Emperor Franz Joseph I, who died in 1916 and who this coin commemorates; ergo, all Austrian 4 Ducats issued after 1915 are restrikes of the original. The reverse features the coat of arms of Austria and a double-headed Imperial Eagle - a symbol of the Austrian Empire.
Due to their design based on medieval gold coins, the thickness of this coin is just 0.7mm. As these coins are pre-owned and very old, you can expect their condition to be good – fair. The Austrian 4 Ducat Gold Coin is a popular choice for investors due to their high gold content for a circulating coin of the age, additionally for their rich history and stability.
