Hi stackers Anyone have some knowledge on these gold coins? History, collectibility? Gold amount i.e 22carat? Thinking of acquiring some but don't know much about them or what they are worth... Thanks
Here is some good info/history etc on world gold coins... www.usagold.com/publications/pre-1933_gold_coins.pdf
Never be worth much more than bullion plus 5 or 10 percent,saw some today at the anda fair in melbourne,,along with alot of other expensive stuff
Gold Ducats were part of Europe's trade coinage and a number of countries minted them with their own designs, but purity and weight were the same. It is pretty much the purest circulating gold coin available at 23 3/4 carat gold ( 0.986 Au ) Austria-Hungary minted the largest number of them and these are the cheapest Ducats ( the restrikes ) Holland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia also minted ducats. Dutch ducats http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_...n=&_trksid=m194&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSRCHX:SRCH Czech ducat http://www.ebay.com/itm/CZECHOSLOVA...3458114?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item1c28cab742 Yugo ducat http://www.ebay.com/itm/1931-Yugosl...World_Coins&hash=item4ab909cf6c#ht_500wt_1316 MOst of these also come in 4 Ducat sizes ( a really nice coin, and probably the largest diameter to weight ratios of all gold coins ) older ducats from the 16th,17th,18th & 19th centuries are also available but the premiums on these coins are high, ie. Danish ducat from 1759 on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-kurant-du...World_Coins&hash=item46053501e7#ht_588wt_1299
