After the establishment of the Czech Republic in 1993, the Czech National Bank returned to issuing gold coins, but unlike Czechoslovak coins, these are not commercial coins, coins with a nominal value are minted. The first series was the Czech crown issued in 1995. It is a series of four coins with the motifs of the coins of the Czech lands (CZK 1000 – the motif of the triducate of the Silesian estates from 1621, 2500 CZK – the motif of the tolar of the Moravian estates from 1620 , 5,000 CZK – the motif of the golden clip of Rudolf II from 1587 and 10,000 CZK – the motif of the Prague penny). The second series is devoted to the activities of Karl IV. and was issued in 1998 (1,000 CZK – Karlštejn, 2,500 CZK – legal documents of Charles IV, 5,000 CZK – Charles University and 10,000 CZK – New Town Prague). The coins of both series were struck from pure gold 999.9/1000 and their weight is based on the troy ounce and its parts (10,000 CZK - 1 oz, 5,000 CZK - 1/2 oz, 2,500 CZK - 1/4 oz and 1,000 CZK - 1/10 oz).
