This specimen was lot 3437 in Sincona sale 83 (Zürich, May 2023), where it sold for 1,000 CHF (about US$1,338 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, "OSTERREICH, Franz Joseph I. 1848-1916. 4 Dukaten 1915, Wien. Originalprägung. Sehr selten. Fast FDC (empire of Austria-Hungary, Francis Joseph I, 1848-1916, four ducats of 1915, Vienna mint, original strike. Very rare, About uncirculated)." This type was struck steadily 1872-1915 but the 1915 was restruck extensively by the first republic. The auctioneers state that this specimen is an original strike but we don't know how to tell the difference.
Recorded mintage: 496,501 pieces were restruck from 1920-1936.
Specification: 13.96 g, 0.986 fine gold, .442 troy oz AGW, this specimen 13.97 g.
