On December 6, the Czech National Bank issued a new silver coin with a face of 200 crowns to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the death of Czech architect Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel.Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel
Born on February 3, 1677 in Prague, he was the author of numerous buildings in the Czech territory, built in the so-called Gothic Baroque style. Thanks to his original way of conceiving buildings, which stood out for his geometric and luminous imagination, he is considered one of the most important architects in Czech history. He died in Prague on December 7, 1723.
On the obverse of the coin the facade of the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady and Saint John the Baptist in Sedlec appears in the foreground, and in the background we see a representation of the Marian star. While six additional Marian stars surround the central motif. At the bottom of the composition is written the name of the issuing country "ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA" (Czech Republic), and above it, the face value of the piece "200 Kč" (200 Czech crowns). The mark of the Czech Mint, in the form of the letters “Č” and “M”, is located on the central window of the church.
On the other hand, the reverse of the coin shows the Church of San Juan Nepomuceno in Zelená Hora. At the top of the piece there is the inscription of the name of the architect «JAN BLAŽEJ SANTINI AICHEL», under the church, we see the date of his death “1723” and the issuance of the coin “2023”. To the right of the composition we see the initials of the coin's designer, Vladimír Oppl.
