CZECHOSLOVAKIA. 10 Ducats, 1951. Kremnica Mint. NGC MS-64. Fr-4; KM-14; Novotny-54 (RRR). Mintage: 100. In close competition with the 1937 and 1938 issue of the same type for the title of <strong>RAREST </strong>of Czechoslovakian issues, this phenomenal piece is exemplary in nearly every regard. Nearly Gem, the surfaces alight with the soft glow of gold, and a light frostiness that is scarcely interrupted by contact or friction. Some very minor marks likely account for the grade, though this piece really does illustrate a premium for the grade example. Many die lines can be seen, highlighting how much care was taken to recreate the pre-war pieces. More marvel than coin, this brilliant stunner is certain to appeal to any collector of major <strong>RARITIES</strong>, as only the most advanced can claim that they own an example. <p> <strong>To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click <a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&search=the+Augustana+Collection&limit=36&lots_range=upcoming"> here.</a></strong> From the Augustana Collection.
