National Heroes

Through the National Heroes collector's series, the Czech Mint commemorated 19 Czechoslovak personalities who sacrificed themselves for the greater good. Their fates prove that brave people do not have to risk their lives only on the battlefield, and convince even the biggest doubters that our nation is full of heroes of whom we can be truly proud.

Through the 15 silver medals presented between 2017 and 2021:

  1. Jan Patočka - philosopher, spokesman for Charter 77 and victim of the communist regime

  2. Josef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš - paratroopers who ended the tyranny of Reinhard Heydrich during World War II

  3. Alois Rašín - politician, fighter against Austria-Hungary and Minister of Finance
