I am new to this whole coin thing - trying to help my mother value and sell coins that belonged to her parents. After researching online I have identified one of the coins to be a gold 1915 Austrian 4 Ducat. Would appreciate any help on valuing it and also on where it would be best to try to sell. My mother had some people over to her house from a local gold store and thankfully I stepped in and realized quickly they were not giving her a good offer - she mostly has junk silver which I have had more luck valuing.

Thank you!

1915 4 ducat coins were mostly not made in 1915 as they are still being struck today I believe all with the date 1915 - basically as a gold bullion coin. They are the gold version of the Maria Theresa Thaler.

They contain 0.4430 oz of gold so scrap value alone is about $790USD, which is what you can buy them for from bullion dealers. However I've noticed these are currently selling on ebay for $1,100- $1,300 but I've a feeling the buyers may be getting duped into thinking they're getting a '1915' coin.

The 1915 gold Austrian 4 ducat coins are bullion restrikes.

They contain 14 grammes of .986 gold.

That works out to .44 ounces actual gold weight.

The current spot price of that gold at U.S. $1720 per ounce works out to be
U.S.$ 763.

Thank you. I will try to get pictures. I know it is old - but not sure how old. I did see that on ebay - I will let my mom decide if she wants to try to sell it there or to a coin dealer. Found a reputable one today to show all of the coins to.
Rest in Peace
