CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Bronze Ducat Essai (Pattern), 1923. Paris Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-55.
KM-Unlisted; Novotny-Unlisted. Mintage: 20. By: Josef Šejnost. An EXTREMELY RARE Essai produced by the Paris Mint, this fascinating and highly desired pattern displays a rejected Ducat design that features a full standing portraiture of St. Wenceslas. Light evidence of handling and even circulation are seen, though no general effacement of details is present. Though called a bronze pattern, this piece displays more of a brassy color, with darker surface coloration. As a problem free example of the type, this piece leaves very little to be desired despite the light circulation.
