Design details
Obverse
The obverse side of the coin features the Venus of Dolní Věstonice from behind, located on the right-hand side of the coin, set against a background depicting the landscape of the Pavlov Hills. The text “ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA” with the denomination and abbreviated monetary unit “200 Kč” is located along the lower left edge of the coin. A dot is placed before and after the denomination. The mark of the Czech Mint, in the form of the letters “Č” and “M”, is to the right of the figure of the Venus of Dolní Věstonice.
Reverse
The reverse side of the coin depicts the Venus of Dolní Věstonice from the front, set against a landscape with two mammoths. The text “VĚSTONICKÁ VENUŠE” is located along the lower left edge of the coin. The text “1925–2025” is situated to the right of the Venus of Dolní Věstonice. The initials of the designer of the coin Majka Wichnerová – made up of the letters “M” and “W” – are located above the text “2025”.
Collector insights
- Design heritage: Majka Wichnerová is credited as the designer for the Non-circulating coins series. Designer attribution helps distinguish this issue from later restrikes or unofficial copies that reuse only the motif.
- Struck at: ČM Czech Mint (Česká mincovna), Jablonec nad Nisou, Czech Republic (1993-date). Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels.
- Low mintage: Only 6,400 pieces reported. This puts the issue into key-date territory for its series; expect steep grade-based price scaling and a higher counterfeit risk — provenance and third-party grading matter.
- Precious metal content: Silver (.925) — bullion value provides a price floor, and many circulated examples were melted during the 1979–1980 and post-2010 silver spikes, reducing the surviving population.
