Gold medal Elisabeth Richeza of Poland proof

Elisabeth Richeza (or Richenza), original name Richeza (Rixa) Piastovna, Ryksa Elżbieta (born 1 September 1288 in Poznaň – died18 October 1335 in Staré Brno) was a Czech and Polish queen, second wife of Wenceslas II and Rudolph Habsburg. She was the one and only woman in Czech history to become a queen twice at the side of two men.

The obverse side of the medal features the portrait of queen Elisabeth Richeza.

On the reverse side queen-widow Elisabeth is depicted sitting on the throne, with coat-of-arms at the sides and text in Latin: “Elisabeth – By God’s will Czech and Polish queen” in the circumscription. Two Czech lions and two probably Polish eagles are placed diagonally in the corners of the framework encircling the throne and the queen.
