gxseries Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hi and welcome to coinpeople I'm not too sure what you got there but someone in this forum might be able to tell you. Perhaps if you can post a picture, it will help people identify what you got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solusbeag Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 hi guys thanks for the feed back, going by the amount of people who have came across with the same coin it looks like the coin i have is one of these austrian ducat. its a bit heavier than what you have suggested, but probably in too good a condition to be the real thing. thanks for your help anyway.....
