CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Gold Medallic 2 Ducats Restrike, "1928" (1974). Kremnica Mint. NGC MS-68.
cf. Fr-7 (for original); KMX-3; Novotny-I.B (same). By: Otakar Spaniel. Obverse: Saint driving plow drawn by the Devil left, miner emerging from the ground on a ladder, holding oil lamp, tree and machine surround; all within beaded square; Reverse: Coat of arms bounded by laurel branches, arms topped by St. Wenceslas holding banner and raising hand; army on horseback behind. Approaching the pinnacle of perfection, this stunning restrike of the popular 1928 issue delivers a bold strike and luster wholly intact. A few spots are the likely reason for the grade, as otherwise this example is hard to find fault with. A stunning representative, and quite popular even as a restrike.
