All, Sorry to be so evasive. Unfortunately I didn't make my self clear, s= o let me try again. In the assay of September 1776, one of the coins menti= oned is a Swedish Ducat. This is a gold bullion coin of approx. 3.5g. The= re are also ducats from other countries mentioned in the assay. I am tryin= g to get one of every coin in this assay and am down to the last two. =20 One of the coins I need is the Swedish Ducat. I have come across a coin mi= nted under the authorization of Sweden in a part of what is now Germany. T= his territory was conquered and occupied by Sweden from 1631 to 1648. I am= now considering buying a coin minted in this occupied territory. Although= it is not a duplicate design of the coins minted in Sweden, it does have t= he bust of the King of Sweden on the obverse and the inscription identifies= the King of Sweden also. The reverse shows the coat of arms of the King o= f Sweden. It is a gold bullion coin of the proper weight and would probabl= y have circulated along with other bullion coins of the 16th and 17th centu= ry. =20 So does this qualify as a Swedish Ducat? What's your opinion? =20 Thanks Leo =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 =20
