this is the closest pic I can get to the coin the coin I have the front of it is exactly like pic shown but the
back is different the back has a king holding a spear(or pole) I found out it is not a denar it is a dukat
the closest I could find is in moneymuseum.com in Munztouren it is a Kremnitz but the year on the pic I see is
1563 my coin is 1552

You know silver can tone into a golden hue...
Just my 2c, I'm no expert on anything, much less Hungarian coinage.

This is all too confusing  Rebecca, is the picture you downloaded here, the actual photograph of your coin? |

Sorry about the last post I accidentally Uploaded the wrong image. Here is the correct image of my particular Hungarian 1552 Ducat Gold coin. I would like to know the rarity or how many are in circulation or value. I have been unable to find anything at all about that particular coin on any website, museum or auctions. I have found one similar that was dated 1555 and 1563. I was only able to find a picture of what the 1552 coin would look like. Any information at all on this coin would be great and is much appreciated. If anyone could tell me the value of this coin that would be amazing thank you all very much for your time and help.  |

yes this bottom pic of the ducat is the actual photo of the coin it has madonna and child with Ferdinand down the right front side of the coin GRUNGRIA on the left side. On the back is the king holding the spear with
SLADISLOV on the right(back) and REX 1552 on the left(back). It also has KB next to the king. I found out this
came from the Kremnitz mint in Hungary (Transylvania) during the Ottoman war. The country had 2 kings one of
them was Ferdinand and the country was divided into 3 principalities during this time period.

Nice coins. I love hammered coins- gold and silver. I buy mine certified however. I've been burned too many times. Happy collecting.
