Hermann Roth gold Medallic 10 Ducats ND (1690-1726) AU58 NGC, Kremnitz mint, Husz-46. A wholly impressive near-Mint representative of this scarce gold type displaying bold imagery of St. George slaying the dragon. The reverse presents an equally dramatic scene of Christ asleep on a boat with five frantic apostles, attempting to weather a tempestuous storm, IN TEMPESTATE SECURITAS (In the storm (is) safety) surrounding. This medallic series was struck in Kremnitz by several members of the Roth family between the 17th and 18th centuries and was thought to bring good luck and protection. They were therefore often carried as pocket pieces, thereby reducing the number of quality examples remaining, such as the one seen here.
