    Hehe Stew I´m sorry to be busting your balls, Just thought that was funny and mind you I make typos like there is no tomorrow :)

    There are many people in here that have a lot of knowlidge about numismatics and I for one seek advice here very often. So if you are looking for knowlidge you couldnt be in a better place.

    There is a World Coins section here http://www.cointalk.com/f11/ -- that would probably be better for identifying your coins than the "What's it worth" department.

    What you have there are not coins, but medals put out by private mints. The Aureus Magnus medals are .980 fine gold

    The top two medals--
    800th Anniversary of the City of Munich
    Passion Play at Oberammergau (performed once every 10 years)

    Here is a German web site showing Aureus Magnus gold medals

    It is gold, but not a coin. The "3 ducats" is a fantasy value. According to a Stack's auction listing from 2004, it has the same weight as what a 3-ducat coin would weigh, that is, .3318 ounces, but there was no listing for the fineness. My guess is, it's probably .980. In the Stack's auction, the medal was lumped together with two other gold medals that were sold together for a dirt-cheap price-- $175 for three gold medals totaling 28.65 grams, more than likely containing 27 grams of gold.
