<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 694950, member: 12789&quot;]There were no Ducat or 4 Ducat coins actually struck in 1915, the first full year of WWI, they were struck with frozen dates because the older coins were familiar to people - and the early date gave it some validity.&nbsp; I am not sure if they are still striking them after the advent of the Philarmoniker, if not, they struck them right up until very recently.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 4 Ducats is neat because it is a very thin wafer like coin but it has the outward appearance of being a large gold coin even though it only weighs .44 oz.&nbsp; These are also .986 fine, which for a long time was one of the finest gold trade coins struck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
