    Tibi,which one is it? Is it the Austrian one,or is it the Hungarian one? Emperor Franz Josef was both Emperor of Austria & King of Hungary from 1848 until his death in 1916,when he was succeeded by the Emperor Karl.

    Howdy tibi - Welcome to the Forum !!

    The value of any coin is dependent on its condition more than anything else. If you can post a pic I can provide more specific information - but in EF condition the coin you mention is worth approx $300 - $350.

    This is the coin that tibi is asking about.

    obverse

    reverse

    Based on the pics I can't tell for sure if it is a ducat or a 4 ducat coin. But assuming it is a 4 ducat it is slightly less than 1/2 oz of gold. And I'm afraid that since it has been mounted as jewelry the coin is considered to be damaged. As such - it is only worth its gold content or about $200.
