Description
Republic gold Proof "50th Anniversary of the Founding of Czechoslovakia" Medal 1968 PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC, 35mm. 34.99gm. By Jiri Harcuba. By all indications, a rare commemorative medal in gold. Designed by Jiri Harcuba during the 1968 invasion and occupation of the Republic by the Soviet Union, and purportedly minted in Switzerland. Choosing to harken Czechoslovakia's history as a strong democracy in the face of Communist takeover, Harcuba personifies the Czech state as a kneeling woman surrounded by five bayonets, representing the members of the Warsaw Pact (including the Soviet Union, Poland, Bulgaria, and Hungary). Harcuba was soon after arrested for his work and imprisoned for four months. A nearly flawless offering and the first such example that we have been able to locate in this metal.Metal: Gold
Diameter: 35mm
