CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Gold Medallic 2 Ducats, 1928. Kremnica Mint. NGC MS-64.
Fr-7; KMX-3; Novotny-I.B. 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. An always popular type accounting to the intricate design, this near-Gem delivers a full strike and soft glowing luster throughout. A few faint wisps of handling account for the grade assigned, though these do little to impinge on the beauty of this example. Entirely wholesome, and deserved of many bids.
