Using the lion as a heraldic figure followed broader European customs, as many rulers chose lions to express dignity and rightful rule. Over time, the Czech lion became a major national symbol, appearing in coats of arms, state imagery, and prominent public monuments. **History** The Czech lion with two tails first appeared in medieval heraldry during the reign of the Pemyslid dynasty. It later became the official symbol of Bohemia. The double tail set the lion apart from other similar designs across Europe, possibly originating from artistic preference or as a way to differentiate the Bohemian emblem from those of neighboring regions. **Ordering** If you have any questions about gold coins for sale, please feel free to ask.
