Gold investment medal 1 Kg Jan Amos Komenský Motif 200 CZK banknote 2014 Standard

Kilo gold investment medal with the motif of the 200 CZK banknote - Jan Amos Komenský

Introducing the flagship of the Czech Mint. An achievement resulting from the collaboration of two outstanding artists associated with the Czech currency. Oldřich Kulhánek, the author of the Czech banknotes, and Vladimír Oppl, the author of the Czech 20-crown, have created four unique medals together. This year, the work of the late Oldřich Kulhánek was taken over by his daughter Klára Melichová. She created a work of art of exceptional quality and high collector value for the customers of the Czech Mint. A work that perfectly combines the artistic and sculptural skills of two leading Czech artists.

In 2014, we are issuing the fifth in a series of commemorative medals inspired by Czech banknotes - a gold investment medal with a portrait of Jan Amos Komenský based on the motifs of the Czech bicentenary. The reverse of the investment medal reflects the symbolism of the transfer of knowledge and experience - the joined hands of a child and an adult, a much-developed idea of Comenius.

Jan Amos Komenský was not only famous as a progressive educator and writer. The nation sees in Komenský a patriot who loved him dearly and who experienced with him his suffering after the White Mountain. Komenský's ideas gave the Czechs strength in a time of despair. Jan Amos Komenský, also as the last bishop of the Unity of the Brethren, was very pious, but at the same time he was tolerant in his faith and sought understanding between the churches. His reverence for humanism, knowledge and love of truth far transcended his time and bears an urgent legacy for all generations. His work is considered a comprehensive methodology of humanity.

The investment medal with the portrait of Jan Amos Komenský, one of the greatest Czech thinkers, philosophers and writers, is issued in a limited edition of 50 pieces. The medals are hand-numbered on the edge and each customer receives a certificate from the State Printing House of Valuables and an author's certificate made of handmade paper with a picture of the medal and the signature of both authors.

Included in the price of this gold investment medal is a luxury wooden box along with a numbered A4 certificate of authenticity from the Czech Mint.
