Many Austria 1 Ducat coin carry a 1915 date –  the year before Franz Joseph I’s death, and the final year the coin was issued for trade. 1915 Gold Ducats are restrikes. Nearly 1 million of the coins were issued from 1920 – 1936. 1 Ducats are produced as official restrikes by the Austrian Mint to this day.
