Gold ducats - a classic investment coin

The ducat is composed of 98.6% gold, and to a small extent copper, which makes the coin a little bit harder. The ducat is a very popular coin for investors or as a gift, especially in Austria. It is produced by the Austrian Mint and is therefore a piece that Austrians can call "home".

Gold ducats have the imprint franc ios i d g avstriae imperator on them, and in most cases the year 1915. They are available in two different sizes:

1 ducat

Diameter: 19.75 mm
Alloy: Gold 986
Weight: 3.491 g

4 ducat

Diameter: 39.5 mm
Alloy: Gold 986
Weight: 13.769 g
