Czechoslovak football legends

For many of us, earning a JUDr. degree is synonymous with success in life. But for footballer Zdeněk Nehoda, it is just one of the successes his incredibly rich life has brought him. The Czech Mint is adding another - its own quarter-ounce gold 25 NZD coin in top-quality proof, which has become the seventh addition to the sought-after Czechoslovak Football Legends series.

Zdeněk Nehoda was born in 1952 in Hulín, but as a youth he started playing in the league team TJ Gottwaldov. He did not miss his chance and despite his young age scored several important goals. In the "Gottwaldov" jersey, the 19-year-old earned his first title of the king of league scorers. After the team's relegation in 1971, Dukla showed interest in Nehoda and eventually dragged the striker to Juliska. And it was a win-win for both sides.

Nehoda confirmed his role as a league cannonballer during his first season, scoring ten goals. His 100th league goal, by the way, was scored in Dukla colours back in 1978. It is probably not surprising that he was twice awarded the title of Footballer of the Year (1978 and 1979). He also had a great record in the Czechoslovak national team, for which he played from 1971 to 1978 - he scored 31 goals in 91 matches. His greatest success with the national team came at the 1976 European Championship in Belgrade, where the Czechoslovaks won a sensational gold!

A faithful portrait of the famous footballer for the reverse of the original Smart coin made of pure gold was prepared by medallist MgA. Martin Dašek. On the sides he added the inscriptions ZDENĚK NEHODA, BĚLEHRAD and MISTR EUROPE 1976. In the lower part of the field he placed an embossed representation of the athlete's signature. The obverse consists of the attributes of the issuer, the year of issue 2016 and the denomination of 10 NZD. Another element is a heart-shaped football - the logo of the Football Internationals Foundation, which will be supported by the proceeds from the sale of the coins.

The Czechs' beloved theme, the exquisite design and the limited edition of only 200 pieces suggest a huge collector interest - do not hesitate to buy!
