Product description
The first place for the proposal of 10000 CZK gold coin with the motif of the 100th anniversary of Foundation of Czechoslovakia in the prestigious competition of the Czech National Bank took Petr Horak MgA. The Bank Board, however, decided not to confirm the decision of the expert commission and chose another motive for the gold coin. It would be a pity if the modern work of Petr Horak was not realized, so it comes out in the form of a silver commemorative medal.
The dream of Czechs and Slovaks to emerge from the domination of Vienna and Budapest became true in October 1918. The Slovaks managed to tear the territory of Slovakia from Hungary and prevent the definitive end of national existence. And the Czechs have experienced the desired statehood restoration. Together, we have experienced both difficult and good time, and we remember with joy the fraternity for years despite the present autonomy. Indeed, we still associate similar culture, languages and thoughts that are the symbol of our eternal friendship. We are proud of the existence of the first Czechoslovak Republic till nowadays. The state, which was found just a century ago, enabled not only our cultural rise, but also formed the foundations of democratic politics, which we separately or together continue to follow.
The relief designed by an expert medal maker and pedagogue shows a map of Czechoslovakia, linden branch, national flag and our heraldic animals in the original square composition.
Do not miss this art work that engaged the attention of experts from the Czech National Bank, the Czech Mint and the Historical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in competition with 34 other art designs from leading Czech and Slovak artists.
