The Czech National Bank has unveiled a new gold coin dedicated to the west Bohemian city of Plzeň. Although its face value is 5,000 crowns, collectors are already paying almost 60,000 for it. Made from pure gold, the coin features some of Plzeň’s best-known landmarks and forms part of the bank’s series honouring historic Czech cities.
The coin was presented on Tuesday at the Masné krámy gallery in Plzeň, attended by its creator, sculptor Zbyněk Fojtů.
