This specimen was lot 30104 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2022), where it sold for $22,800. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Czechoslovakia|CZECHOSLOVAKIA]]. Ducat, 1937. Kremnica Mint. NGC MS-64. One of the RAREST and most desired dates in the modern Czechoslovakian series, this near-Gem Ducat provides an enticing and seldom encountered opportunity for the specialist. Sunny and lustrous, the surfaces ooze with attractivity and are only mildly contacted. Resolute details grace the flan, with no evidence of strike defect on this modern beauty. Produced in the stormy prelude to the Second World War, this issue was severely limited in mintage, and the survival rates of this piece are paltry, being only surpassed in elusiveness by the 1938, 1939, and 1951 Ducat issues. A coin that stands near the pinnacle of modern Ducat issues, and we expect fierce competition for this example. From the Augustana Collection." This type was struck 1923-39 and 1951 along with a [[Czechoslovakia 1936 2 dukaty|two dukaty]], [[Czechoslovakia 1936 5 dukatu|five dukatu]] and [[Czechoslovakia 1936 10 dukatu|ten dukatu]]. This type is rarely seen circulated, suggesting the hoarding of what few examples escaped government vaults. The obverse portrait is of "good" king Wenceslas, he of the well-known Christmas carol.

''Recorded mintage:'' 324.

''Specification:'' 3.49 g, .986 fine gold.

''Catalog reference:'' Fr-2; KM-8; Novotny-16 (RRR).
