Republic gold Ducat 1937 MS66 NGC, Kremnitz mint, KM8, Fr-2. Mintage: 324. One of the most elusive dates of the Czechoslovak series and the first in a series of 4 consecutive years that saw extremely low mintage figures for the gold Ducat. Altogether missing from the Eliasberg and Hammel collections and only the third example we have handled, the coin at hand also has to its credit the moniker of being the second finest specimen of the date yet certified behind just a single MS67. Indeed, even under close magnification, the offering showcases a marked clarity to the designs, the surrounding satin surfaces revealing a general lack of both strain marks or wisps. By all measures, a prize for even the most discerning collectors of this series, and one that demands the utmost consideration.
