Collector insights

Design heritage: Tereza Vičková, Josef Oplištil 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 2,900 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 issue is part of the 'Municipal Heritage Sites' series authorized by the Czech National Bank to commemorate historically significant urban centers. The city of Tábor, founded by the Hussites in the 15th century, holds a unique place in Czech history due to its strategic fortification and religious significance. This gold coin follows the tradition of honoring the Czech Republic's architectural preservation via high-purity precious metal issues.

Design heritage

Created by designers Tereza Vičková and Josef Oplištil, the obverse features a composite of motifs symbolizing the Czech Republic's municipal reserves alongside the 5000 Kč denomination. The reverse focuses on the historic city of Tábor, highlighting the town's distinct urban character and defensive architecture from the 2025 calendar year. The craftsmanship reflects the specialized engraving techniques of the Czech Mint in Jablonec nad Nisou.

Varieties and technical notes

This 15.55-gram gold coin is struck with a milled edge and is officially released in both standard and proof finishes. Collectors should verify the presence of the Czech Mint mark (ČM) on the obverse to ensure authenticity. As a round .9999 fine gold issue, the technical specifications for weight and diameter remain consistent across the limited managed production run.

Survival and modern availability

With a total mintage limited to 2,900 pieces, these coins are primarily destined for private collections rather than circulation. The high gold content of half an ounce makes them susceptible to market fluctuations in gold spot prices, though their numismatic value is supported by the specific thematic series popularity. Large-scale attrition is unlikely due to their status as non-circulating legal tender and their protective packaging at the time of issue.
