Welcome to the World Coin

A gift to a baby in the form of a coin or jewellery has a long and interesting tradition in the Czech lands. Members of the aristocracy gave various gold artefacts to their offspring in the cradle, first decorative buttons, later gold and silver coins. Gradually, this custom spread to the bourgeoisie and other classes of the population. The attention paid by the godfather after birth was very important and was supposed to accompany the newborn through life and protect him. It was to ensure his happiness and well-being. Today we would say it was a kind of investment in his life.

The reverse of the coin depicts the first touch of a baby and its mother, full of emotion, love and trust. A strong bond that is formed at birth and deepens and strengthens throughout life. The motif is complemented by the inscription "WELCOME TO THE WORLD" and the initials of the author "VA".

The obverse features an inner circle with a traditional portrait of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II by Ian-Rank Broadley, the artist's initials "IRB", the denomination "10 DOLLARS" and the year of issue "2021". The weight and purity are indicated below the portrait.

Each coin is encased in a cardboard gift wrapper, which also serves as a certificate of authenticity, and includes space for a personal dedication. The mintage is limited to 200 pieces for the entire world!
