The gold wedding ducat of the Czech Mint is a tasteful gift for newlyweds that combines original symbolism, the value of precious metal and emotional value in the form of an engraved dedication.

Coins have always been a symbol of wealth, prosperity and security. Therefore, it is not surprising that they played an important role in the wedding rituals of our ancestors. The oldest coins found on Czech territory are gold staters, popularly known as irises, used by the Celts. Unlike their Roman contemporaries, Celtic women had almost equal status with their men and the wedding coin was meant to symbolise the couple's willingness to share everything they had in the world. In many countries around the world, the precious metal penny is still a wish for happiness and best wishes to both newlyweds.

The gold ducat of the Czech Mint for the year 2022 was designed by the medal maker Lenka Nebeská, DiS. She has dedicated the obverse side to a sophisticated composition consisting of the inscription SVATEBNÍ DUKÁT 2022 (WEDDING DUCAT 2022) and two pairs of hearts connected by axes with a decorative ribbon. The ribbon interwoven with flowers also appears on the reverse side of the ducat, where it defines the space for engraving a personal dedication or other text according to your wishes in 3 lines of 10 characters including spaces.

A hearty dedication can also be inscribed on the certificate of authenticity included in the elegant packaging.
