I have seen these in Stack's catalogs, have always wanted one, could not resist when I saw this coin. Any information about Hungarian Ducats would be appreciated, as I know very little about them.

    Very nice coin with mint luster! What is the grade? Perhaps AU53? What does it weigh? Of course, once in the slab it won't be too easy to ascertain that. I have one that is one full gram overweight, dated 1764.

    Thanks for the comments! 1jester, yes it is an AU53image, I don't know the weight, NGC slabs probably vary somewhat in weight. It appears there are several varieties of this year from looking at auction archives. The obverse legend starts with Maria Theresia, does anyone know the meaning of the remaining right side facing letters?
