If you want to stand out among the usual gifts that newlyweds expect, reach for the Czech Mint's wedding ducat with the year 2025, which combines the value of gold with original symbolism.

Courtship, engagement and wedding are supplemented with a number of traditions and superstitions. Some are thousands of years old, others have only recently been created, and more will undoubtedly be added. While in the past wedding customs were fixed and failure to follow them was at the very least an embarrassment, today it is up to the fiancés and wedding guests what they choose to do. And that they have plenty to choose from! In a globalised world, it is very easy to find out what customs are followed across borders. There are different customs in each country, but their meaning is the same - they are supposed to bring happiness and prosperity. You have probably heard that a bride should carry something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue on her big day . However, this tradition, which is based on an old English nursery rhyme, has a fifth part that is forgotten -the penny that the bride is supposed to put in her shoe so that her new family will enjoy happiness, wealth and prosperity.

In the relief of the ducat, which is the work of the medal maker Lucie Kroupová, you will find not only the bride's shoe, but also wedding rings and other necessary parts of the wedding wardrobe.

In addition to the ducat, the gift packaging also contains a certificate of authenticity with space for inscribing a personal dedication. Don't overlook other variations of the wedding penny - our 2025 range includes two different precious metals and versions that can be engraved with a dedication.
