CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Gold Medallic 10 Ducats, 1934. Kremnica Mint. NGC MS-64.
Fr-13; KMX-21; Novotny-VI.A (RRRR). Mintage: 68. 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. The largest denomination within the beautiful medallic series commemorating the Kremnica mines, and one of the RAREST Czechoslovakian gold issues, hailing from a tiny mintage in the single digits. Semi-prooflike luster ripples through the fields, wherein one struggles to find the tiniest of marks or issues; perhaps the only hindrance to a Gem grade is the mild scuffing on the thigh of St. Catherine. Exceptionally attractive and highly desirable as a Choice example of this EXTREMELY RARE type.
From the Augustana Collection.
Estimate: $30000 - $40000
