Czech Lion 2021 Silver Coin, 1 oz.

The series was launched in 2017 and has attracted considerable interest from investors and collectors.

The Czech Lion is the first Czech bullion coin dedicated to one of the country's symbols. According to legend, the Czech prince Bruncvik was said to have embarked on a journey shortly after assuming the throne, during which he encountered a lion fighting a dragon. In exchange for his help in slaying the dragon, the lion became a devoted servant of the Czech ruler. Since then, the king of the animals has never left the Bohemian ruler's side.

The 2021 silver bullion coin presented here got a completely new look. The reverse was dominated by a crowned lion's head, inverted in left profile. It was reproduced with great attention to detail. The rim bears the inscription "Ceska Republika" and the coin's weight and silver sample. The coin is issued as the official legal tender of Niue. Hence, in addition to the Czech eagle symbol, the obverse features the $2 denomination and the likeness of Queen Elizabeth II.
