Hungarian Gold Ducat Questions

Another dealer dropped off a small gold ducat with his usual scraplot.
One side has the inscription "intempestate securitas " with the ship motiff
The other side has saint george slaying the dragon and is inscribed "'S . GEORGIVS . EQVITUM . PATRONVS"
Theres a couple small counterstamps I cant quite make out at the bottom of one side, similar to chinese moneychanger chopmarks.
My question is, where is there a reference for dating these guys and getting a value? Or are they all no date coins and considered a "trade" ducat. I think its Hungarian (kremnitz mint?) in origin, but I'm not the most well versed guy in the world with foreign coins prior to the mid 1800's. With the delicate counterstamps I'm 99% sure its an original piece and not a 20th century fishing token.
has a couple small digs on one side so it wont holder other than as genuine if sent in but has around AU details. No other problems. Anyone have a shot in the dark as to value etc? I'll send it in if its worth doing.
