This specimen was lot 30072 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2022), where it sold for $55,200. The catalog description[1] noted, "CZECHOSLOVAKIA. 2 Ducats, 1951. Kremnica Mint. NGC MS-67. Superb in every regard, the present specimen displays an entrancing coating of luster and precisely applied details that remain lovely and free of major affliction. A single hit is seen on the reverse, but this is hidden and does not attract the eyes. One of the RAREST and most demanded dates in the series, this piece stands as an honorable example thereof. Presenting a seldom encountered opportunity, this specimen commands much respect, and should command many bids. From the Augustana Collection." This type was struck 1929-38 and 1951 along with a dukat, five dukatu and 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: 200.
Specification: 6.98 g, 0.986 fine gold, .221 troy oz AGW, 25 mm diameter, reeded edge, designed by J. Benda and O. Daniel.
Catalog reference: Fr-1; KM-9; Novotny-52 (RRR).
