Gold coins have been made into jewellery at all times. In Germany, it was above all the Goldmark minted from 1871, whose decorative value gave them a second life. However, the large pendant presented here presents a coin from the Alpine Republic of Austria. It is a quadruple ducat with the double-headed eagle and the profile of Emperor Franz Josef. The ducat was the first internationally common means of payment in the world, because its weight and fineness were standardized and binding very early. Thus, a Nuremberg lamb ducat weighed exactly the same as a ducat of the Republic of Venice or that of the Holy Roman Empire. Thus, it could be traded internationally without any problems. The present pendant, dating from around 1960, presents the coin, an official restrike of the Austrian Mint dated 1915 with a fineness of 986/000, in a wide setting of yellow gold. The precious piece of jewellery found its way to us from a Berlin estate and is a present object.
