Gold ducat Baby and Christening 2016 proof | Czech Mint

The Mint says about this coin:

Product description For every important moment in life people want to keep a permanent memory,and the arrival of a new person into the world is among those most moving. Wondering what on this occasion to dedicate to the newborn baby? Are you looking for an original and exceptional gift? Looking for something that will, even after years, remind of how much the child is of importance to you? How can something like this be demonstrated? Certainly by gold ducat to Child birth in top quality proof from the Czech Mint. During the Renaissance, in the Rosenberg dynasty, the traditional baby gift was an ornamental gold button, which was put into the cradle at the head or beside the baby. Thanks to this, especially in the countryside, people still use the czech archaic phrases of “endowed baby” and “blessed in blankets”. In the 17th century however, a traditional baptismal medal gift was given, later replaced by a gold coin (often with a loop for hanging) or a sum of money. The Czech Mint follows this custom with the series of Gold ducat - a gift with a lasting emotional and material value, which sincerely offers wishes for health and happiness. The dedication of a gold medal is a traditional, yet a refreshing offering that you would not regret. The ducat to Child birth is designed by a talented artist Lenka Nebeská, DiS., which is decorated on the face with a delightful motif of a sleeping baby in a sling, along with the year marked ‘2016’. The reverse depicts the legendary stork carrying a dearest treasure to the new parents. The ducat comes in lovely thematic packaging. Endow the newborn with a gift with a lasting value symbolized by the masterpiece of pure gold! More Less
