After the Austro-Hungarian Empire decided to adopt the gold standard, they decided to honor their emperor by putting his image on the obverse of the coin. So on the obverse of the coin is a detailed rendition of Franz Joseph I, emperor of the empire. Here he is shown here with a crown of laurel leaves and the great detail really shows off his epic mustache and beard.
The reverse side of the coin has the Austrian Coat of Arms over a double-headed eagle. Around the image of the double eagle is the phrase ‘“LOD ILL REX A A”, the year of issue, and “HVNGAR BOHEM GAL” which means ‘ King of Hungary, Bohemia, Galicia and Lodomeria, Illyria, Archduke of Austria’. The year of issue you receive depends on our stock on hand. If you buy multiple coins you may get the same dates of issue.
The Austrian 1 Ducat Gold Coin is a great example of the coins of the old. This classic coin remains a popular restrike today, and its high gold purity makes it an excellent addition to your precious metals portfolio.

Disappointed. I received a 1915 restrike coin. This is not stated as a restrike in description of coin. The coin is nice looking but not what I was wanting.
