Product description

Jablonec nad Nisou, the home of the Czech Mint, has already appeared once on a gold coin set in a replica of a historical postcard. Now the town appears for the second time in the popular cycle - it is represented by the New Town Hall.

In the 19th century, the North Bohemian town of Jablonec nad Nisou was the centre of the glassmaking world - 65% of the world's production of glass jewellery was produced here. The 20th century also began spectacularly for the Jablonec region, when Jablonec entrepreneurs handed over to the Habsburg monarchy in taxes the same amount as the entire crown land of Dalmatia in 1911. Jablonec was not lacking in tourist attraction, which went hand in hand with a rich postcard production. Many local lithographic prints are among the finest and most collectible postcards of their time. "The detailed postcard, which served as a model for the coin packaging, was published by the Jablonec publishing house Herman Rössler in cooperation with the Kunst music publishing house in 1896," says postcard expert Pavel Vursta.

Lucie Marková, a student of the Jablonec medal school whose design came out of an art competition, dedicated the reverse side of the coin to the Jablonec New Town Hall - a monumental functionalist building built in the 1930s. As the coin of the Czech Mint is issued with the foreign licence of the island of Niue, it bears its national emblem on the obverse side, the nominal value of 2 DOLLARS (NZD) and the year of issue 2023.

The original issue represents an affordable collector's piece that will delight numismatists, philocartists and Jablonec patriots.
