Detailed description
Gold Coin KORUNA CZECH - Small Grosh from 1587
The exclusive gold coin is a solitaire of the "Czech Crown" collection from the Czech National Bank, issued in top Proof quality on 27 March 1996. The coin is stored in the original CNB box, the issuer's certificate is an integral part of the product.
The obverse bears a Czech lion and the reverse a small groschen from 1587. The coin stands out for its masterful simplicity of composition. The gradual impressiveness of the artistic concept and the content of the relief image is created by the evocation of the clip (a quadrilateral set on a scythe).
The minting of gold coins in the Czech Republic has a centuries-old tradition. Through the first gold coins of John of Luxembourg, known as "florins" and "ducats" of Charles IV, we come to the ducats with the most famous Czech theme, drawing on the legacy of St. Wenceslas. This motif was typical of Czech ducats of the 15th and 16th centuries. The image of the saint remained until the time of the first Habsburgs (1612), only to reappear on the ducats of the Czechoslovak Republic some 300 years later (1921). The tradition of ducat mintage was temporarily interrupted by a set of coins (1, 2, 5 and 10 ducats) issued in 1978-1982 on the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the death of Charles IV.
After the establishment of the Czech Republic, the CNB decided not to continue minting gold ducats, which are commercial coins whose price depends on supply and demand. It began to mint coins in 999.9/1000 purity, and anchored the weight in troy ounces (oz) and fractions thereof to match the world trend. At the same time, it decided to put the denomination in a valid monetary unit. This guarantees owners that the Czech National Bank will accept these coins back at their face value.
Gold ducats as commercial coins have again appeared in the CNB's issuance plan for 2024 and 2025.
All gold coins from the Czech National Bank are an anticipated event and are accompanied by increased attention from numismatists and the general public.
