4 Ducat Austria

The golden 4 Ducat was minted in Austria. These common investment ducats date back to 1915. It is a reprint. The ducats have a long history. All Austrian ducats are struck in gold with a fineness of 986/1000 (23.6 carats). The 4 ducat Austria has a weight of 13.9636 grams.

The origins of Austrian Ducats go way back in history. The original ducats were minted in 1140 by Roger II of Sicily, who ordered the coins to be minted as legal tender.

Austria began producing its own ducats in the 16th century and they remained the official currency of Austria until 1858. In 1858, the Austrian Ducat seemed to lose its status as legal tender but was saved just in time by the Emperor of Austria who issued a proclamation approving the Austrian Ducat for further production as a commercial currency in the year 1857.

On the reverse of the Austrian Ducat is an image of a two-headed imperial eagle of the Habsburg dynasty. The Habsburg emperors believed that they had inherited the Holy Roman Empire and therefore the world, so they designed the double-headed eagle that was able to look both east and west at the same time.

Why buy gold at Holland Gold?

Gold offers protection in times of inflation
Gold offers protection in times of inflation
In the long term, gold retains its value, while currencies lose a lot of purchasing power. An example of the value retention of gold is that 2,000 years ago you could buy a tailor-made suit for one gold coin and that is still the case today.
Gold is an insurance against a systemic risk

The gold reserves at central banks act as the backing of a money system. According to DNB, gold is an 'anchor of trust': "If the entire financial system collapses, the gold supply provides collateral to start over."
Gold is a mainstay in the investment portfolio
