| | The " Legend " : | The 1 Ducat is one of the many varied denominations of Gold Coins which Austria has produced in its long history. Ducats were Gold Coins, and also units of account , formerly used in most European countries; including Holland, Russia, Austria, and Sweden . In 1284 , the first Gold Ducat , also called a Zecchino D'Oro , was struck at Venice under the Doge John Dandolo . This coin bears on one side figures of St. Mark and the Doge , and on the other a figure of Christ with the legend " Sit tibi Christe datus quem tu regis iste ducatus " ; this , though it did not originate , may have contributed to spread the name , which was subsequently applied to the Gold Coins of various European countries . Ducats were issued by Austria in 1612 , and probably earlier . The last regular issue of Ducats was in 1914 . Because they have inherited their design and appearance from Medieval Gold Coins , they are very thin compared with modern coins , at just 0.8 mm thick . One Ducats were produced in high purity gold , 23.3/4 carats , making them among the highest purity Gold Coins ever issued for circulation . In typical Austrian tradition , after the death of Franz Joseph in 1916 , official restrikes were issued as commemorative pieces , all bearing the date 1915 . All the Ducats dated 1915 are restrikes , of which there were 996,721 struck between 1920 and 1936 . These are internationally accepted and respected ( next to 20 Francs - France , 20 Francs - Belgium , 20 Lire - Italy , 20 Lire - Sardinia , 20 Francs - Switzerland , 20 Lei - Romania , 20 Francs - Tunisia , the Sovereign , 20 Mark - Germany / Prussia , Hamburg , etc. , 20 Francs - Hungary , 10 Gulden - Netherland , 5 and 10 Roubles - Russia , 20 Kroner - Denmark , 20 Kronor - Sweden and Gold Coins from South America like 5 Pesos - Argentina , 10,000 Reis - Brazil , 5 Pesos - Colombia and 5 Pesos - Uruguay ) .
The Ducat Gold Coins are very respected worldwide for their fine gold content and superb craftsmanship , making them very popular among collectors and investors .
