CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Gold Medallic 2 Ducats, 1928. Kremnica Mint. ANACS 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. A nice example of this ever popular type, this piece is only held back from a Gem grade in the old ANACS holder by a touch of limited friction. Otherwise a very charming representative that is certain to achieve many bids.
From the Whytecliffe Collection.
Estimate: $1250 - $1750
