CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Gold Medallic Ducat Restrike, "1934" (1971). Kremnica Mint. NGC MS-64.
cf. Fr-16 (original); KMX-14.2; cf. Novotny-VI.D (same). 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. A charming restrike of the famed original issue, this Ducat displays a reserved and slightly matted luster. A slightly soft strike is the only flaw of note, and even this is a rather minor one. These restrikes have been gaining popularity, and this example provides a beautiful instance thereof.
