Can anyone help me identify this?

This is what I found about this medal.

 

 

During the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, German Werner Gaul commissioned Austrian and West German government mints to strike a series of gold and silver commemorative "coins" for him.

 

The pieces were denominated as "ducats" but not recognized as money anywhere. He sold them to collectors worldwide, especially in Europe, for a little more than their value as bullion.

 

The reverse says ---"For the prosperity of the world" in Latin. There were many medals minted and the reverse was the same.

I HAVE A FEW COINS & CAN'T IDENTIFY THEM.. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
My mind reading license was revoked around the middle of the last century, so I can't help you until you post pictures, or at least detailed descriptions. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif
