Description
The obverse of the 4 Ducat Gold Coin Restrike from Austria features a right-facing portrait of Franz Joseph I, emperor of Austria-Hungary, surrounded by a Latin legend. The reverse showcases the Hapsburg coat of arms, a double-headed Imperial Eagle with a shield on its chest, the Chain of the Order of the Golden Fleece, and the crown of the Austrian Empire. The inscriptions on the reverse translate to “Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Count of Tyrol,” indicating the emperor’s various titles. Struck by The Austrian Mint, this coin is a popular choice among numismatists and investors for its historical significance and high gold content.
