The Czech Republic does not have its own purely investment issues, therefore the Czech Mint strikes bullion coins with a foreign license. The “Czech Lions” come with a new design every year; this set contains four of the gold formats issued in 2019: 0,5g, 1/25 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1 oz.
Besides the Czech Lion in an non-traditionally realistic presentation, the reverse sides of the silver coins present two more symbols of Czech statehood - the St. Wenceslas crown, and an eagle on the shield that is a synthesis of St Wenceslas, Moravian and Silesian birds of prey. The initial design was created by the leading medal maker Jaroslav Bejvl; however, he died at the age of 75 in 2016 before he finished his masterpiece, so the young talented medal maker Asamat Baltaev completed the design. |
