[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 7426670, member: 46237"]A very nice example of one of the earlier Hungarian ducats in this style. The 1848 ducats were actually the last Hungarian ducats produced in this style with the Saint Mary reverse. After the War of Independence, Hungary was under Austrian occupation until 1867. During the years 1852-1867 there were 4 circulating ducat types struck in Hungary which were Austrian style types, and then 4 non-circulating commemorative ducat types were struck for the coronation of 1867. After the establishment of the Austro-Hungarian empire, the last ducat produced in what is more or less this style was the ducat of 1868-1869. My example below from my collection, as well as the 1966 proof restrike: [B]Hungary 1868GYF AU Dukát[/B] KM-448 (1868-1869) NGC MS62 [ATTACH=full]1289387[/ATTACH] [B]Hungary 1868KB UP AU Dukát[/B] 1966 Artex Restrike (mintage of 250) NGC PF67 [ATTACH=full]1289391[/ATTACH] There was also a pattern-only issue ducat of 1870 that had this same obverse design, but a reverse that matched the redesigned middle shield types of 1870. Most catalogs don't list it, or erroneously include it in the ducat type of 1877-1881 (which is itself absurdly rare with a mintage of only 9,220 coins for all dates combined) calling that incorrectly an 1870-1881 type. There is also an 1870 ducat restrike, but it is a mule as it uses the obverse of the 1877-1881 type.[/QUOTE]
