This coin, commemorating the Liberation of Auschwitz, was issued as part of a four-coin gold proof series by the Czech Mint. It is in the signature "gold ducat" format of the mint, which is slightly heavier than a tenth-ounce. The Mint says about the coin: Together with the Czech Mint, designer Jakub Orava cooperated with the Terezín Initiative Institute which supports research of the history of the “final solution” in Bohemia and Moravia, and the history of the Terezín ghetto. Final version of the coin originated on the basis of talks with Dagmar Lieblová and Toman Brod, two survivors of the Oswiecim camp. The reverse of the coin is dominated by the depiction of human figures stepping out of the notoriously known camp gate, with the ill known watchword Arbeit macht frei. “In my opinion the coin is also important, among other things, because to the two hundred people that will have it at home, it will remind eve after many years the horrible events and commemorate the victims. I have unfortunately, the impression, that people more and more forget what had happened 70 years ago“, said Anna Hyndráková, witness of the Terezín camp. | ||||||
