CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Gold Medallic 5 Ducats, 1929. Kremnica Mint. NGC MS-64. Fr-8; KMX-9; Novotny-II.A (RRR). Mintage: 787. By: Otakar Spaniel. Obverse: St. Wenceslas standing, head left, holding banner; Reverse: St. Wenceslas on horseback left, holding banner, accompanied by two angels. Struck to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of Christianity in Bohemia, this rather elusive Medallic Ducat offers crisp strike and a soft sunny luster. Less marks and hits pepper the surface than might be expected for the near-Gem designation. <strong>VERY RARE</strong> and hard to acquire, we foresee no shortage of bidders vying to win this stunning lot. <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.
