Hi,
Does any one know what is the most trade gold coin in the world?
Best,
Mike

P's - I thought of Sovereign, Ducat, Doubloon. My American fellows, I'm referring to the period from 1300-1900.

As far as a gold coin of international repute, traded and copied worldwide, I'd have to go for the sovereign, certainly as far as the 1800's and early 1900's are concerned.

If you want to back further, I'd have to vote for the Venetian ducat - a standard copied by several other European powers, including the Dutch.

Even further back, before 1300, the Islamic dinar and Byzantine solidus (both roughly equal to each other) circulated as the primary gold trade coins of the Dark Ages - not that too many people were trading much of anything way back then.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
