Re: Czech Mint 2022 Lion 2 Dollars
Wed Aug 10, 2022 2:27 pm
Great review @Admin , and they are really grand coins, head and shoulders above the Roaring Lion in my opinion. There has been a different design each year since 2019, which is when I think the series started. The crowned C and M on the obverse is the logo of the Czech Mint.
I do sometimes wonder why Niue is issuing a coin with 'Czech Republic' on it, but I suppose they know what they're doing.
The Czech Mint does produce some lovely things, and I'm collecting their Mythical Creatures series through Minted. I did try to order direct from the Mint and failed miserably. There were a number of reasons: although I could open an account and order coins, there was no apparent way to have a shipping address in the UK; they didn't take Paypal then - I don't know if that has changed - and had trouble with my card; although the website has an English version, all their emails are in Czech. Eventually I gave up. A shame really, but I can't say I'm stuck for choice elsewhere.

Thank you, but a grand review... I am sure someone would give me a grand not to try to pronounce some of the words I attempted.The Cat's Mother wrote:Great review @Admin , and they are really grand coins, head and shoulders above the Roaring Lion in my opinion.

I love the Roaring lion series. In fact i am missing just one. I do not remember which one at this minute, but I should put that coin up on the WANTED section. As i really do want to get fully up to date with my collection.
Oh and I noticed they do a 3 Kilo coin!!! OMG. I really REALLY want that! I might start saving and call in a favour if I can not get it shipped directly to me.
That would be EPIC

It must have been quite tricky. Did you have a few lined up ready or did you just make a note and catch up at the end?SilverTrader wrote:I made a terrible mistake before watching the video i decided on a drinking game

Beautiful looking coin. If the Silver Trader gets some in stock I will be purchasing one.

He's currently got quite a few. @Admin does the review videos on coins he gets from Silver Trader and, if you read the posts above, you'll see what I meant earlier about banter.

Thank you. I found them after commenting on the video. It has led to me ordering yet more coins. I think I may have an addiction, one the wife does not understand.
