Christian Hermann Roth gold Medallic Restrike "St. George" 5 Ducat ND (c. 18th Century) MS63 NGC, Kremnitz mint, Fr-563, Husz-6. 39mm. 17.30gm. 18th-century restrike of the original 17th-century (c. 1645-1690) issue. An impressive later striking of this coveted multiple ducat design, originally produced by Christian Hermann Roth as part of the larger 17th-century series struck at Kremnitz by the Roth family. These were made as a sort of "good luck talisman" as well as a status symbol. Admirably preserved in choice condition, a sheen of golden luster carrying across the fields with marvelous luminosity upon rotation and inspection, all minute details retaining their as-struck clarity.
