The "Czech Lions" - bullion coins of the Czech Mint - serve to invest money in precious metals, but their elaborate relief also attracts anyone who wants to expand their numismatic collection or give an exceptional gift. The beauty of the 2024 silver coin is enhanced by its selective gold plating.

Since bullion coins are primarily a financial instrument that can change many owners during its lifetime, they are usually minted in the so-called standard quality. The surface of such coins is matt, long-lasting and resistant to damage. However, thanks to their attractive patriotic design and low issue limit, the Czech Lion bullion coins are also popular among collectors who will be delighted by the top proof quality. This delicate design, which is many times more demanding to produce than the standard, is characterised by an attractive contrast of glossy surfaces and matt reliefs. A further contrasting effect is achieved by selective gold plating. Selected details of the coin are precisely covered with a layer of gold, which gives the silver coin an unusual design.

All variants of the bullion coin received a brand new relief in 2024, but the main idea remained the same. The reverse side is dominated by a realistic Czech lion wearing a gilded St. Wenceslas crown. An additional motif is a gilded eagle which is a synthesis of the St. Wenceslas, Moravian and Silesian birds of prey. The inscription CZECH REPUBLIC is placed in a gilded wedge, which evokes the Czech flag. The author of the relief is traditionally medal maker Asamat Baltaev, DiS. As the coins of the Czech Mint are issued with the licence of a foreign issuer, which is the island of Niue, their obverse side bears its necessary attributes - the portrait of King Charles III, the nominal value of 2 DOLLARS (NZD) and the year of issue 2024.

The silver coin placed in a special numbered packaging is an addition to the numismatic collection and an original and valuable gift - for graduation, wedding, birth of a child or just for fun...

The Czech Mint has extensive experience with the production of bullion coins. We have been minting gold and silver "Czech Lion" coins since 2017 and they are popular among investors not only in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but also in Hungary, Germany, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Canada and the United States. The largest online precious metals distributor in the world has also requested them for its offer. One of the reasons why the Czech Mint's bullion coins have so quickly joined their  famous global counterparts (such as the Austrian Wiener Philharmoniker, Canadian Maple Leaf, South African Krugerrand, American Eagle, Chinese Panda or Australian Kangaroo) is their low issue limit. While bullion coins of foreign mints are minted in the millions, the issue limit of coins minted in the Czech Republic is calculated in hundreds or thousands. This fact increases the appreciation potential of the investment and adds a collector's dimension to it. Thanks to the artistic processing, the coins will also serve perfectly as an original and valuable gift - for graduation, for a wedding, for the birth of a child or just for fun...
