CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Gold Medallic 2 Ducats, 1928. Kremnica Mint. NGC MS-63.
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. Choice in essentially every way, this piece glimmers with a soft golden glisten, with only the fault being a slightly soft strike. A wonderful example that is ensured a great number of bids.
From the Whytecliffe Collection.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
