Austrian 1 Ducat

Overview

This 1 Ducat coin is produced by the Viennese Mint in Austria. A particularly interesting detail about this coin is that the carat of the gold is much higher than other European gold coins. They are produced in 23.6 carat (a fineness of 0.986). Ducat coins have been issued in Austria since at least 1612. The last regular issue of Ducats was in 1914, and all the 1 Ducats dated 1915 are restrikes. One Ducat coins dated 1915 are still being produced by the Austrian Mint today. The design shows the laureate head of Emperor Franz Joseph I on the obverse and an image of the crowned imperial eagle on the reverse.

Mexican Dos y medio Pesos Gold Coin

In Stock

The Mexican gold 2.5 pesos used to be a very popular small bullion coin before fractional Krugerrands were introduced in 1980. Apart from investors and collectors, we used to sell large quantities to jewellery manufacturers for use in jewellery, particularly ear-rings, where their small size (13.0 mms), and low weight (2.08 grams) made them ideal. Dated from 1918 to 1948, the 1945 date is the easiest to find. We believe these are still officially restruck using this date. Krause shows a substantial quantity of 180,000 as having been minted.
