    Early Dated coins from the 1450's and 60's are relatively rare
    compared to other dates. The exception are the Saxon Horngroschens.

    1468 IV-19.jpg
    A nice full date. To find a fully struck coin is a rarity. This was minted
    in Graz. The city Graz is part of my families history.

    When my parents escaped Hungary in the fall of 1956 they were assigned
    to a refugee camp on the outskirts of Wiener Neustadt. Only 2 collectable
    coins, the other in Bob Levinson's collection.

    The only date for Sweden prior to 1500 A.D. There are several varieties
    and denominations. Bought this from Dr. Arnold Singer.

    Not much to say about this piece. For me a clear date is important.

    A well struck gold piece. Nice clear date. Pre 1491 A.D. dated gold
    is rare. The exception being, the 1436-38 German pieces.

    A little wavy, tried to upgrade, unsuccessfully. Surprised at the condition
    since gold coins for the most part were considered stores of value. Only the
    clergy and nobility and bankers saw coins like this.

    There are two varieties of this coin. Supposedly some old dies were
    found and put into service in the 1600's.

    1499 - 1 - 401 - Brendenburg copy.jpg
    This has the correct date 1499. 1994 error date should be 1499  I-401b.jpg
    This has the date 1994.

    For some reason I've seen most early Venetian Ducats called "Ducats" whereas the later pieces(roughly 1500-1800) called Zecchinos. I don't quite recall what Doge represents the split or why the coins name was changed but I've seen the aforementioned rule applied. I've also seen however the name zecchino/ducats being used interchangibly. Here's an example of a pretty large Italian dealer calling an example of the Steno Ducat you posted above a "ducat"/"ducato"

    Back to Zecchino debate/ seems that the AV Zecchino/ Dukat are same weight. Florins/ Goldgulden/ Scudo d'oros/ Ducatos/ Fiorino d'oro were in use most of Europe/
    The heaviest coin was the Venetian AV 105 Zecchini/ Poland/ Transylvania/ Bohemia struck 100 Dukaten/ Spain struck AV 50 Execelentes (equal in weight to 100 Dukaten/ also struck AV 100 Escudos/ 100 Ducatos. Sadly hardly anyone can ever afford these dazzlers.....
