Product description

In 2017 not only the Czech Republic, but also the rest of Central Europe celebrates the  300th anniversary of the birth of Maria Theresa. This anniversary is reminded by this silver coin 200 CZK of Czech National Bank in quality standard, which was minted by the Czech Mint.

Maria Theresa was first enlightened ruler of the Habsburg Empire. She ruled the Empire for four decades, while she faced many challenges coming from inside and outside – in fact not everyone was reconciled with a woman controlling the throne of the powerful Empire. In order to modernize the existing ossified system of the government, she made several changes in the areas of education, government, economy and many others. She provided her serfs with an opportunity for education and reduced the labour. Apart from that, she made agricultural and industrial production more efficient and gave the country a strong army and innovative financial system. All these advancements of which we were an integral part enabled us to survive the coming tumultuous years.

22 artists have attended this design competition announced by the Czech National Bank. The winner of the competition was Vojtěch Dostál, DiS., a talented medal maker and teacher at the medal college in Jablonec nad Nisou. His work, according to the expert committee of the Czech National Bank “represents an original interpretation of the historical theme for modern coin. The committee has appreciated not only the excellent portrait of Maria Theresa but also his composition of the state symbols together with a list of her positive reforms. "

Unique memory of the only woman ruling the Czech throne.
