The Czech Mint in cooperation with the Czech National Bank regularly issues sets of circulation coins with the motif of the birth of a child and the year 2023 is no exception. The set is an original gift for anyone who has a newborn baby at home, not only for avid numismatists.

Many experts think that we are living in an era that will see the end of physical currency. Some countries are already heading towards this scenario - for example, the Scandinavian countries, which record a dominant share of cashless payments. In Sweden, paper and metallic money account for just one percent of the total value of all payments, therefore, it is likely that the northerners will say goodbye to banknotes and coins for good in the near future. Probably, we will have only a credit card in our wallet and may shop via a mobile phone one day. Is it not a pity? After all, our circulating coins are among the world's best - for example, the five-crown coin of Jiří Harcuba, who is perceived in this country and abroad as an unrivalled master of the field, or the bi-metallic fifty-crown of Ladislav Kozák, which was declared the most beautiful circulating coin in the world in 1993. In short, we have a lot to be proud of, and maybe our children will be interested in what mum and dad used to pay with...

For this purpose, an annual set of circulation coins has been created - it contains all valid metal coins with denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 CZK and the year 2023, issued by the Czech National Bank and produced by the Czech Mint in Jablonec nad Nisou. The six coins that have not been circulated are supplemented with a commemorative token designed by medal maker Petra Brodská, DiS. The token's relief presents traditional children's symbolism - the baby's feet, which grow fast, and a stork together with a crow, which, according to legend, bring their parents a bundle full of good luck.

The complete set is stored in a gift box, where you can inscribe dedication and birth details of the baby.
