Specifications
Austrian ducats on the market today are official restrikes dated 1915, at 986/1000 fineness.
- 1 ducat: 3.4909 g gross, 3.4424 g fine gold, about 444.08 EUR
- 4 ducats: 13.9636 g gross, 13.7695 g fine gold, about 1,711.14 EUR
Restrikes trade on gold value
Because the restrikes exist in large numbers, they rarely carry a collector premium. The 1 ducat is a popular gift but has a higher premium per gram; the 4 ducat is usually better value.
Comparing prices
Divide the price by the fine gold content and compare with the gram price of 121.30 EUR. See also the 100 Corona restrike.
Tax
Austrian ducats are generally treated as VAT-free investment gold in Germany; the EU's annual list of investment gold coins is decisive. Genuine ducats from earlier centuries can carry significant collector value and should be assessed by a specialist dealer.
Dealers currently pay about 395.19 EUR for a 1 ducat and 1,597.06 EUR for a 4 ducat.
The 1 ducat is one of the smallest common gold coins and a popular christening gift. Before selling a gifted ducat, check the date: 1915 almost always means a restrike traded at gold value.
