The ducat or ducat consists of 98.6% gold and a small proportion of copper, which makes the coin somewhat harder. This alloy is even known as "ducat gold". In Austria in particular, the gold ducat is a very popular coin for investors or as a gift. It is produced by the Austrian Mint and is therefore also a piece of home.
Ducats were the official means of payment in Austria until the middle of the 19th century and continued to be minted as commercial gold coins until 1915. Today's restrikes are produced as investment coins. All gold ducats have the coinage franc ios i d g avstriae imperator (Franz Joseph the First by the Grace of God Emperor of Austria) and the restrikes usually bear the year 1915. Gold ducats are available in two different sizes, as 1-fold ducats and 4-fold ducats.
As with all investment gold products, the prices for gold ducats are based on the general gold price (gold spot).
By buying ducats, you invest your money safely in gold. Gold has always been considered the safest form of investment in the world. Walter Hell-Höflinger, founder of Gold & Co., generally recommends investing 10-20% of your savings in gold - especially in times of economic uncertainty. Moreover, money is constantly losing value. Gold is therefore very suitable as a hedge against inflation.
