The “Czech Lion” investment series, issued by the Czech Mint with a foreign license, was extended at the request of investors by a silver coin weighing five troy ounces in 2019. This variant is also available in 2020.

The Czech lions - especially those of silver - have been popular for four years not only at home but also abroad. They ranked alongside their world famous counterparts and satisfied investors from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Canada and the United States added them to their portfolios. Silver is a reliable means of investment proven by centuries and a number of conservative investors who prefer it over the more widespread yellow metal are growing. Silver preserves its value in the medium to long-term period, and also offers the considerable advantages of industrial metal. This can be applied in a number of key technology sectors. Precious metal is still in high demand.

The Czech Mint reworked all variants of investment coins in 2020, but maintained the idea. Besides the Czech lion in an untraditionally realistic design, the reverse side of the silver coin presents two more symbols of Czech statehood - the St. Wenceslas crown, which rests on the head of a two-tailed beast, and an eagle on shield that is a synthesis of St. Wenceslas, Moravian and Silesian birds of prey. The medal maker Asamat Baltaev, DiS became the author of the relief. The obverse side bears the attributes of the island of Niue, which provides the Czech Mint with a foreign license to mint its own coins. These attributes are the portrait and the name of Queen Elizabeth II, the year of the issue 2020 and the nominal value of 10 DOLLARS (NZD). All this is supplemented by linden branches.

The total schedule of issuance of the coin counts 550 pieces - 500 of which are available separately in a protective capsule and another 50 pieces are part of a comprehensive set of silver coins. The Czech Mint offers a luxurious wooden box where you can store this coin.
