1915 Austrian Ducat Restrike... When was it 'Restruck?'

SilverEagles92

I know the last year for the ducat was 1914. When were the 1915 Restrikes actually struck? Were they even close to contemporary restrikes, or were they something done in the 1980's?

Are they still being struck today?

Ah - found the answer


Austrian 1915 One Ducat
Ducats were issued by Austria in 1612, and probably earlier. The last regular issue of ducats was in 1914. All the ducats dated 1915 are restrikes, of which there were 996,721 struck between 1920 and 1936. One ducat coins dated 1915 are still being produced by the Austrian Mint as official restrikes.

I wonder if there are any differences between the ones struck in 1920, 1936 and the modern restrikes?

If there is a difference, I've never been able to find it.

4 ducat and MTT are also still being minted.

Well, for one thing, you can bet the really frosty DCAM prooflike restrikes are modern.

But they're a sight for sore eyes, particularly the 4-ducat pieces. Restrikes or not, I love 'em. Lots of bling for the buck.
