Niue includes the British monarch on its coinage as part of the Commonwealth. This left-facing portrait was designed by Jody Clark, who also created the last circulating portrait of Queen Elizabeth II for British coins. **Reverse** The reverse of the 2026 1 oz Czech Lion Gold Coin features the Czech lion with its forked tail next to the Crown of St. Wenceslas. The crown was made in 1346 by Charles IV for his coronation and was dedicated to St. Wenceslas. It has since been used as the official crown for Bohemian rulers. **History** The Czech lion dates back to the 12th century, when it first appeared in heraldry granted by Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa to King Vladislaus II. Initially shown with one tail, the lion symbolized courage and strength. A second tail was later added, often associated with King Pemysl Otakar I and his role in military alliances. By 1253, the two-tailed lion became the official coat of arms of Bohemia and remains a symbol tied to Czech heritage. **Ordering** For questions about this product, please contact BGASC.
