Czech Mint Yearbook is intended for all collectors, investors and friends of Czech Mint. It looks back at the important developments of the past year, from September 2014 to August 2015. The reason why we chose the school year instead of the calendar year for our framework is obvious. We get to meet many of our loyal customers at the Sběratel (Collector) trade fair in September where we have a unique opportunity to introduce major Czech Mint issues and projects as well as certain extraordinary personalities of our numismatics. Combining all of this, along with interesting news, interviews and other numismatic content is summed up in the yearbook.

Czech Mint has come a long way. Its small and big steps are worth recording, and the yearbook is the perfect opportunity for that. It also includes the full catalogue of Czech Mint mintage for 2014 (CNB coins, Smart coins and medals), which is nowhere else to be found!
