Obverse: middle national emblem, copy "REPUBLIKA ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ" and the year, preloved.

Rub: sitting figure of the republic with young shoots of linden between attributes of industry and agriculture above the silhouette of Hradčany (Prague?), stamp. values "10Kč", preloved.

Helpful? 😁

 

Perhaps @richatthecroft was right, but the like the swastika it wasn't always a communist/nazi symbol.

Nah this coins long before the communist coup that happened after WW2, I think this coin is celebrating some sort of new republic, we need a Czech collector, there is nothing in any of my books or on Numista about it

Not sure I am anywhere near correct but the Communists were quite a force at the time this coin was minted- perhaps somehow they managed to get an adaptation of their emblem onto the coinage? 

From the Wikipedia article: 

The Communist Party of Czechoslovakia was founded at the congress of the Czechoslovak Social-Democratic Party (Left), held in PragueMay 14–16, 1921.^[1] Rudé právo, previously the organ of the Left Social-Democrats, became the main organ of the new party. As a first chairman was elected Václav Šturc, first vice-chairman was Bohumír Šmeral and second vice-chairman was Vaclav Bolen. The party was one of some twenty political parties that competed within the democratic framework of the First Czechoslovak Republic, but it was never in government. In 1925 parliamentary election the party gained 934,223 votes (13.2%, 2nd place) and 41 seats.

The party was the Czechoslovak section of the Communist International. As of 1928 the party was the second-largest section of the International, with an estimated membership of around 138,000,^[2] more than twice the membership of the French Communist Partyand nearly five times the membership of the Communist Party of China at the time.^[3]

Nice. Sensing that you like symmetry 😂

I tried grouping them up in pairs but it was bugging me 🤣

Found some old coins today, which I think all contain some percent of silver.

My favourite silver coin on the lower left, with Pearse and Cu Chulainn on either side. I have my Father's coin, given to him on his confirmation day. Love it!

Haven’t found a 1/4 oz gold Britannia at a price I was willing to pay for a while, so this had to do instead.

[LiquidMetalsUK]

Love it

@Shinus73 Great buy. Superb coin.

Actually @Roy is right, on left side are attributes of industry, wheel and hammer and on right side are attributes of agriculture, plow and bunch of ears.

[Rugbyplayer]

Postman also popped these through my door today....not sure why these aren't more popular, they are stunning out of the capsule and a relatively low mintage. Picked these up for a steal too 😁

Thanks @cerramio  I now can figure it out after you said that, they certainly packed lots of detail and things into this coin, its a shame the photos don't show how much lustre it still has, you have some superb looking coins from your part of the world.

Just received the 2020 1oz Perth silver swan coin. I live in Perth but was late getting to the mint and they sold out within the first hour. Ended up buying one on eBay. Anyway looks very good with the other three. 

[JohnnyOC]

Hi Coinstruck, they are fantastic looking swans - intrigued that they sold out at the Mint so quickly. My son lives in Perth (near Glendalough where the black swans are right?) and I was going to ask him to purchase some coins direct from the Mint. What stock do they have in their shop and will they have more swans in there soon?

I remember about twenty years ago doing the tour of the mint and watching some gold being poured - never realised how important it was at the time. 

Thank you and regards,

Yes indeed there are Black Swans close to Glendalough.

Unfortunately the Perth Mint are out of the 2020 Swan bullion coins and they are not getting any more produced / allocated. Yes on the face of it it does seem strange that they run out of these issues so quickly especially as they mint the silver bullion coins less then 100 meters from the Perth Mint shop. As I understand it the Perth Mint has distribution agreements with various sellers like Apmex in the US and so they allocate production internationally. As part of that the Perth Mint allocates itself a certain number of coins and when they are gone that’s it.

Not had it yet but chuffed to win this for only £12. Very few people know that America minted these 1944 colonial 2.5 Gulden, specifically Denver Mint. They melted down 60,000 out of a 200k mintage.

If we had more time, we could have arranged them into some more imaginative stacks and towers.

Maybe next time!
