    Hi folks.

    If anyone has some information on the goldcoin in the picture below,
    I would really appreciate that info :)

    It's supposedly 21 k but that's all I know.

    Hello Kookaburra, all i can see is the double headed eagle.

    I have the Krause catalog with me, if you can either post another photo ( dont angle the coin) or you can write the
    letters on the coin and i should be able to identify it.

    Hi.

    Unfortunately, that's the only picture I've got :(.

    The picture is taken from an online auction catalog.

    Cheers.

    Looks like a one ducat, but from the 1800s, not a 1915 restrike. I'm guessing one, not four, based on the relative thickness to diameter - the four ducat would look a lot thinner side on.

    You can make out "GAL LOD ILL A A 1848" on one side - the 1915 restrike has "LOD ILL REX A A 1915", and "HVNGAR BOHEM GAL" the other.

    This is probably it:

    Happy new year.
