Collector insights

Design heritage: Veronika Prokopová 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 3,800 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.
Gold issue: Gold (.9999) — bullion demand competes with numismatic demand. Weight and fineness (not just face value) drive the melt-value floor.

Curator Insights

Historical context

This 2025 gold issue belongs to the Czech National Bank's ongoing numismatic series dedicated to Urban Conservation Areas. The 5000 Korun coin commemorates the architectural heritage of Štramberk, a Moravian town renowned for its unique timbered houses and medieval fortifications. These commemorative pieces are commissioned to highlight significant historical urban centers within the Czech Republic.

Design heritage

Designed by Veronika Prokopová, the coin portrays the distinctive architectural silhouette of Štramberk, including the iconic Trúba tower. The obverse incorporates the heraldic emblems of the Czech Republic alongside the denomination and series title. The reverse focus remains on the specific topographical and structural features of the town's historical core.

Varieties and technical notes

Produced by the Czech Mint in Jablonec nad Nisou, the coin is typically issued in both standard and proof qualities. Collectors should observe the milled edge and the specific high-relief execution characteristic of modern Czech precious metal commemoratives. The mint mark of the Czech Mint, a crowned 'b', serves as the primary technical identifier on the flan.

Survival and modern availability

Total mintage is strictly limited to 3800 pieces, reflecting its status as a collector-targeted non-circulating issue. Given its .9999 gold composition and small production run, most examples are expected to remain in high-grade or encapsulated condition within private collections. The high purity of the 15.55 gram planchet makes it susceptible to handling marks if removed from original packaging.
