<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3952316, member: 97383&quot;]John, I&#039;m surprised at your choice of this 4 ducat coin as your &quot;most beautiful&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, although it has a stunning depiction of the Austrian coat of arms &amp; appears to be <b>FDC</b>. The portrait of Ferdinand I looks like a young boy even though he was well into his 50s when this coin was struck during the last year of his reign. A long time ago I bought the small brandy flask pictured below at an antique show in Rochester, NY. It was made by Ludwig Moser &amp; Sons in the 1870s, located in Bohemia, Austria-Hungary. The flask is panel cut &amp; hand enameled with the the same coat of arms (not quite as detailed), 4 in. high. The back side is enameled with a floral cartouche.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1041315[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1041316[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
