Czech Mint 1 Ounce Silver 999 Czech Lion 2024 Black Platinum/Diamond Effect Proof Coin

The "Czech Lion" range of investment coins of the Czech Mint may be used to save money in precious metals, but their elaborate relief also attracts anyone who wants to expand their numismatic collection or give a special gift. The beauty of the silver coin with the year 2024 is emphasized by the double finish. The unusual black platinum plating is supplemented with a sparkling diamond effect.

The extraordinary variant of the Czech Lion investment coin stands out with a sophisticated play of colours that is not often seen in coinage. The silver coinage is covered with a layer of black platinum - a noble material that is characterised by higher hardness, density and durability compared to silver or gold. Selected details of the relief are then highlighted with glittering dust in the colours of the Czech tricolour, which are white, red and blue.

The reverse side of the coin is dominated by a realistic rendition of a Czech lion wearing the St. Wenceslas Crown. The additional motif is an eagle, which is a synthesis of the St. Wenceslas, Moravian and Silesian birds of prey. The inscription CZECH REPUBLIC is placed in a 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.

Don't miss the very first coin of the Czech Mint embellished with a diamond effect.
