The Czech Mint at a new address

The Czech Mint, which supplies coins to the Czech Republic and is a leading trader in precious metals, has begun construction of its new headquarters. The modern complex will be built at the company’s current location – in Jablonec nad Nisou in northern Bohemia, where a ceremony to lay the foundation stone took place on 7 September 2026.

The Czech Mint has been associated with Jablonec nad Nisou since 1993, when it was established as an independent production division of the Jablonec-based company Bižuterie. It then became an independent company in 2010. It mints both circulation and commemorative coins for the Czech Republic. In addition, it has long been dedicated to producing its own collector’s, investment and gift items made from precious metals. The new complex is set to mark a significant step in the next phase of this story spanning more than thirty years.

“For us, the new building is not just an investment in property. Above all, it is an investment in the future. After many decades, our various departments will finally be brought together in our own premises under one roof. I believe this will enable us to work even more efficiently, collaborate better and be prepared for the challenges facing the Czech minting industry,” says Michal Voborník, CEO of the Czech Mint.

One site instead of several locations

The site is being developed on Mincovní Street, meaning Coin Street, in Jablonec. The street got its name precisely because of the plan to build the new headquarters of the Czech Mint here, to relocate the entire company to this site, and thus to create a base for the further development of production, trade and all related activities.

One of the project’s main benefits is the consolidation of the Czech Mint’s key activities into a single modern facility. The company thus aims to create the conditions for closer cooperation between individual teams, more efficient operations and further technological development.

The construction of the new facility also reaffirms the long-term commitment to maintaining the production of Czech coins in northern Bohemia. Alongside representatives of the Czech Mint and its parent company Monetica, represented by managing partner David Zoubek, the foundation-laying ceremony was therefore also attended by representatives of the statutory city of Jablonec nad Nisou, led by City Mayor Miloš Vele. Their presence underlined the significance of this new investment not only for the Czech Mint, but also for the entire region, which is a traditional centre for arts and crafts.

Among the distinguished guests was Karina Kubelková – a member of the Bank Board of the Czech National Bank, which, as the exclusive issuer of Czech legal tender, is a key partner and the Czech Mint’s most important institutional client.

The Mint will open its doors to visitors

The project for the Czech Mint’s new headquarters also includes a shop and a visitor centre, designed to give the wider public an insight into the modern-day minting process. The company hopes this will boost Jablonec nad Nisou’s appeal to tourists.

“Jablonec is a town with an exceptional tradition of metalworking and the production of items of high craftsmanship and artistic value. We want our new site not to be a closed-off industrial complex, but to become a place that brings this tradition to life for visitors from across the country and abroad,” adds Michal Voborník.

Ready for future challenges

When designing the new building for the Czech Mint, the emphasis was naturally placed on security. The building will meet strict security criteria and will be designed to cater for all conceivable requirements associated with coin production and other minting projects. However, the Czech Mint does not wish to build the new infrastructure solely to meet today’s needs. The ambition is to create a complex capable of responding flexibly to future developments in Czech, European and global coinage.

The Czech Mint intends to focus more on foreign markets. This may involve, for example, the production of circulation coins or commemorative coins for other countries, as well as custom minting carried out for major foreign partners. It is precisely this ability to respond to the specific technical and security requirements of a diverse range of customers that will be one of the key prerequisites for further development.

At the same time, this approach leaves the door open to future developments regarding the Czech currency – for example, the production of euro coins, which might one day be used as legal tender in the Czech Republic.

“We do not presume to predict when, or even if, the Czech Republic will adopt the euro. However, we want to be prepared for various scenarios. With such a significant investment, it makes sense to think in terms of decades and to take into account the requirements that any future production of Czech euro coins might entail,” explains Michal Voborník.

Construction will take two years

Construction of the new complex began in July 2026. Completion is scheduled for May 2028.

The project developer is Mincovní, a.s. The client’s representative is Savills CZ s.r.o., the architect is Ing. arch. Tomáš Hanák, the project designer is RESTYL PLAN s.r.o., and the contractor is IMOS Brno, a.s.
