<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3197243, member: 46237&quot;]Here&#039;s a new pickup for my Hungarian type set (1848-1956):</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Hungary - Transylvania</b></p><p><b>1848E AU Ducat (Austrian Imperial Type)</b></p><p>Austria KM-2262</p><p>PCGS MS61</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]826696[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly, due to a unique set of circumstances there were three different ducat types minted in Hungary during the first year I cover in my type set (1848).</p><p><br /></p><p>The Austrian Imperial type (above) was struck only at the E mint (Hungarian branch mint of Transylvania). The Hungarian Kingdom type was struck only at the B mint (the main Hungarian mint of Körmöcbánya). Both of those types were produced from 1835-1848 during the reign of Ferdinand I/V, with 1848 being the last year of both types due to his abdication. The Hungarian War of Independence then broke out in 1848, and when that mint came under control of the rebels, the third ducat type, the War of Independence ducat was struck at the B mint (a one-year type).</p><p><br /></p><p>For reference, the photo below is of the 1848 War of Independence ducat from my type set (NGC MS63). I am still missing a suitable example of the 1848 Hungarian Kingdom ducat type, though it is essentially identical to the type below except for the legends.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]826702[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
