Product description
Are you looking for a valuable, tasteful and universal Christmas present? Let yourself be inspired by the story of the Three Kings, which is immortalized on the silver medal of the Czech Mint.
The three wise men whom the starlight brought to Bethlehem, where they paid tribute to the newborn Messiah, brought with them precious gifts. Melichar gave Jesus Christ gold - a precious metal, the value of which people have appreciated for millennia. Balthazar's gift was incense - a fragrant mixture used during religious ceremonies and meditations. Kašpar brought myrrh - a resin that is an important component of incense and various ointments. Myrrh was highly appreciated and its value even exceeded its weight in gold in ancient times. Gifts then became an integral part of the Lord's Nativity celebrations. In the Middle Ages, children became red apples at Christmas as a symbol of health, young virgins were gifted with pearls, which were a symbol of purity, and a coin made of precious metal became traditional gift too. If the recipient holded it in his or her palm all evening, the reward would be the promise of a rich life. Will you try it?
The obverse side of the silver medal, which was processed by the medal maker Ludmila Kracíková, DiS., is dominated by Three Kings with gifts in their hands. The reverse side then presents Jesus Christ with a halo in the crib, above which the Star of Bethlehem shines. Both sides are connected by a decorative vault.
Thematic gift packaging, where you can write a dedication, builds an integral part of the issue.
