CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Gold Medallic Ducat, 1973. Stuttgart Mint. NGC MS-66.
Fr-Unlisted; KMX-Unlisted; Novotny-Unlisted. Mintage: 100. Obverse: Half-length St. Wenceslas standing facing (as Ducat issue of 1923-39); Reverse: Lion arms of Czechoslovakia. An uncommon issue produced to commemorate the millennium anniversary of Prague Bishopric. Produced by a Czech émigré to Federal Republic of Germany, this piece was limited in mintage to a mere 100 and is so elusive that it has escaped both Friedberg and Krause Unusual World Coins catalogs. Sharply struck and shimmering with brilliance, this issue displays just the smallest amount of contact and friction, withholding it from Superb Gem grade. A lovely example that simply does not appear with any frequency.
