Czechs use circulation coins with a value of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 CZK almost daily. They go through countless human hands, and therefore durability is their most important characteristics. Our coins, however, are besides the medium of exchange also small works of art. Therefore, the Czech Mint in cooperation with the Czech National Bank mintes in delicate quality proof, which is characterized by a mirror shine and pleases every collector.

All coins have their authors. Have you ever thought about who is behind the Czech currency? The following four expert academic sculptors:

• Coins with nominal values of 1 and 2 CZK were made by Jarmila Truhlíková-Spěváková (* 14. 11. 1940) - her crown coin addressed the National Bank that she processed the two-crown coin as a direct order without announcing a competition.
  
  
• The five-crown was made by the legendary artist Jiří Harcuba (December 6, 1928 - July 26, 2013). It was based on the design of his older coins, which the Czechoslovaks used in the times of socialism and federation.
  

• 10 and 50 CZK coins were processed by Ladislav Kozák (August 31, 1934 - July 22, 2007). He processed the bimetallic coin with our largest nominal value which was awarded the most beautiful coin in the world.
  

• The twenty-crown is the work of Vladimír Oppl (born January 19, 1953), who is the author of the Order of T. G. Masaryk, the most beautiful gold coin in the world, the largest gold coin in Europe, and you may still remember his fifty-haler.

The set of Czech currency was suplemented by a commemorative medal made of pure silver. This mintage was processed by academic sculptor Michal Vitanovský, who dedicated it to the historical lands of the Czech Crown. The obverse side bears heraldic animals of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia and a view of the picturesque landscape. The reverse side presents the Czech flag, St. Wenceslas crown and the current and historical borders of the state.

The six coins, together with the medal, are placed in an elegant suede packaging, which includes a certificate of authenticity printed by the State printer of securities.
