Silver one-kilo medal Statutory town of Havířov stand

A place presented in series of medals called Statutory cities by the Czech Mint in June 2015, is Havířov. The reason is a beautiful anniversary - the village was founded in 1955 and it celebrates its round 60 years of its existence. Havířov is the youngest statutory city in the Czech Republic. It lies in the Cieszyn Silesia, in the region approximately 11 km far from Ostrava and it is crossed by the river Lučina. There are around 80,000 inhabitants. A fascinating one kilogram medal reminds us of another part of the modern national history and offers an attractive and safe collection in the artistically handcrafted silver.

During those 60 years Havířov made a big step forward and also developed the industry and can boast numerous sights. The core of the city is famous for its style called Sorela. The most famous building in Havířov is The Station, a magnificent example of Brussels 'style of the' 60s. Another architectural gem is The Culture Centre Radost, formerly the cinema Radost. A typical example of socialist realism was in 2003 declared a cultural monument.
