Ducats: 986 gold with collector potential

Historic ducats, especially Austrian 4-ducat and 1-ducat coins, contain 986 gold (23.6 carat), one of the highest gold contents found in coins. Per gram, this makes them almost as valuable as near-pure gold.

Calculate today's material value with our gold calculator using a fineness of 986. Rare years may also have collector value.

Estimate your item's material value in advance using our precious metals calculator, free and without registration.

986 fine gold (23.6 carat)

With a fineness of 98.6%, ducats are among the coins with the highest gold content.

4-ducat and 1-ducat coins

We buy both versions. The 4-ducat coin weighs about 13.96 g and the 1-ducat about 3.49 g.

Collector value checked

For rare years in good condition, we pay collector value where it exceeds material value.

Guides

Ducat price today: value of 4-ducat and 1-ducat coins

Would you like to sell ducats and know what they are worth today? Learn how the ducat price is calculated, how 4-ducat and 1-ducat coins differ and when collector value matters.

Calculate today's 4-ducat price

The material value of a 4-ducat coin comes from its weight, about 13.96 g, fineness of 0.986 and the current gold price per gram. A 1-ducat coin weighs about 3.49 g and is calculated in the same way. Get an indicative value using the gold calculator with a fineness of 986.

Ducats have a gold content similar to many bullion coins. For comparison, a Krugerrand is 916 gold and a Maple Leaf 999 gold. Read more about bullion coins on our page about coin buying in Nordhorn.

When is collector value higher?

Ducats in very good condition, such as brilliant uncirculated or proof, rare years or certain mints such as Vienna or Budapest can have collector value far above their material price. We check the year, mint and condition and always pay the higher of the two values. The same applies to other historic gold coins on our page about selling collector coins.
