<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2023656, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;ve looked in every book I have and there is nothing that even closely resembles this. You say the weight is 1.5gm, standard for ducats was 3.5gm. Based on your picture I&#039;d say the diameter is 16 or 17mm, standard for ducats was 21mm. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now that said they did mint coins as small as 1/8 ducat, and as large as 10 ducats, but the weight was always proportional to the standard ducat and the diameter varied. But 1.5 is no even fraction of 3.5, so it couldn&#039;t possibly supposed to be a 1/8, 1/4, or 1/2 ducat. And no MT ducat of any size had a left facing bust. So whatever it is, it is not any fractional ducat.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be unlikely for a medal to be struck in such a small size, but it is possible it could be a jeton of some kind I suppose. It may even be a fantasy piece or an out and out counterfeit. I cannot say what it &quot;is&quot;, I can only say what it &quot;is not&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
