I can't seem to find it in my Krause. Help anyone? Also - how about a value?

It's a big coin and appears to by just under an ounce.

Yeah I know I had to find my Krause

These and the one Ducat are still being (re)struck today, as mentioned earlier, they are a bullion coin.

They are pretty, aren't they? Big and thin. In its old coin exhibit, now sadly deceased, the Smithsonian took Austrian one- and four-ducat pieces, froze them in clear acrylic, and made walls separating a gold coin collection from the rest of the exhibit. They are a funny karatage and weight, and are too big to be slabbed. What other use is there?
