CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Gold Medallic 2 Ducats Restrike, "1934" (1971). Kremnica Mint. NGC MS-66.
cf. Fr-15 (for gold original); KMX-M19 (same); Novotny-VI.D. By: Anton Ham. Obverse: St. Catherine kneeling in prayer and supplication, mining equipment before her being illuminated by the glory of God from a radiant cloud; behind her, arms of Hungary-Anjou and flowering plant, all within hexagon; Reverse: Scenes of mining operations within a hexagon, further encircled by border of beads and legend. Despite being somewhat more common than the original 1934 types, this restrike is still rather RARE and quite desirable. The intricate design is recreated, though the strike is slightly soft. Avoiding excess marking, this specimen delivers much eye appeal and charm. To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click
