Item Description
 
The 2022 Niue 1 oz Czech Lion Silver Coin is a striking bullion release from the Czech Mint, featuring one of the most powerful national symbols of the Czech Republic. Struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin highlights the legendary two-tailed Czech Lion, a historic emblem deeply rooted in Czech heraldry.
 
First introduced in 2017, the Czech Lion series quickly gained recognition among collectors for its bold designs, patriotic symbolism, and limited mintages. The 2022 release continues this tradition with a dramatic close-up of the lion wearing the Crown of Saint Wenceslas, a treasured symbol of Czech monarchy and national identity.
 
Issued under license from Niue with an official legal tender face value, the coin combines sovereign status with collectible artistry. With a limited mintage of only 26,560 coins, the Czech Lion remains one of the more distinctive modern bullion series available today.
