1915 Austrian 1 ducats in the course of many centuries gained such a great reputation and were in such high demand that the Austrian mint that produced them made the decision to continue production. Using the same dies as the last available edition, the newly minted Gold 1915 Austrian 1 ducats are called ‘restrikes’ which are 1915 dated coins that are produced years after

As a result of the 1915 restrikes, the contemporary Austrian ducats look exactly the same as those minted pre-1915. The 1915 date was significant, especially in the US, given that possession of gold had been legally prohibited in the US from 1933 until 1971. There was, however, a loophole because prohibition did not apply to gold coins that had significant numismatic value. Austrian ducats were such coins and was considered valuable rarities

US authorities seem to have overlooked the fact that 1915 Austrian tokens with the image of a Franz Joseph dated 1915 was in fact mass-produced with very little numismatic value. They are excellent fractional bullion coins are are typically low-premium pieces, making them ideal for collectors as well as general Gold coin investors
