Silver medal Helena Vondráčková proof | Czech Mint
The Mint says about this coin:
Product description Helena Vondráčková, the First Lady of the Czech pop music and the most successful Czech female singer worldwide, is celebrating fifty years on stage and Czech Mint is paying tribute to her achievements with a commemorative medal! The singing career of Helena Vondráčková started back in 1964 when she won a national talent contest “Search for New Talents“ with the Czech version of the song “Red River Valley“. She was a member of the famous trio Golden Kids and recorded a number of duets with singer Jiří Korn. However, she achieved the biggest success and became the most popular as a solo singer. This is evidenced by a long line of her gold and platinum records, her introduction to the Hall of Fame, one gold, 11 silver and 16 bronze “Golden Nightingale“ music poll awards and numerous others. The multi-talented artist is a great singer, dancer, actress, hostess, as well as keyboard and percussions player. She also starred in several films, for example she played the part of princess in one of the legendary Czech musical comedies “Šíleně smutná princezna“ (Terribly Sad Princess). This role served as a model for the reverse side of the medal. The obverse side features Helena’s current civil portrait. The singer herself chose the model for the medal – it was designed by Jaroslav Bejvl, representative of the traditional Czech medallist school, who also created the consummate depiction of singer Karel Gott on Czech Mint’s successful commemorative medals. An example of how your investment could appreciate: In November 2013, Czech Mint issued gold one-ounce and silver half-ounce medals on the occasion of the 75th birthday of singer Karel Gott. Shortly after the day of issue, all 250 gold one-ounce medals were sold out. The piece number 77 was sold at auction for CZK 80,000, while the issue price was CZK 55,000.
