Games were played by ancient civilisations as competitive recreation and represent one of humanity’s oldest forms of social interaction. Evidence for the existence of dice as throwable cubes with numbered sides indicates they were made in Egypt at least as early as 2000 BCE. The first known board game, The Royal Game of Ur, originated around 4,600 years ago in Mesopotamia. By the beginning of the 10th century, playing cards had been invented in China. Many traditional games, which have their roots in days long gone, have stood the test of time. Despite modern electronic alternatives, they offer entertaining group activities strongly associated with joyous times, including Christmas and summer vacations. Enjoyed by children and regarded with fondness by older generations, they continue to inspire happy and memorable family occasions. Firmly ingrained in our cultural practices while helping to develop mental agility and strategic thinking, old-style games are inexpensive, easy to master, and above all, fun.

One of the world’s leading opera, theatre and classical music festivals, the Salzburg Festival celebrates its centenary in 2020. Featuring opera, theatre and classical concerts, the Salzburg Festival offers a broader spectrum of cultural variety than any other. To celebrate this major cultural event, which is constantly in the process of reinventing itself, we have come up with a particularly innovative coin design.
On 22 August 1920, the director Max Reinhardt staged Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s morality play Jedermann in Salzburg’s Domplatz (Cathedral Square) for the first time and in doing so
founded the Salzburg Festival. Since 1926, the play has been a permanent feature of the festival programme, a tradition interrupted only during the Nazi regime. Those who stage or direct Jedermann in Salzburg’s Domplatz have reached the pinnacle of their career.
In addition to Max Reinhardt and Hugo von Hofmannsthal, the composer Richard Strauss was also involved in the founding of this magnificent celebration of the performing arts, which did not take long to become established and achieve world renown. At Salzburg, the best is often not good enough. This gives the festival cultural relevance, which comes from its strength of tradition but also allows new directions to be explored and puts the avant-garde centre stage. This very special centenary coin is avant-garde itself. With an obverse that has the appearance of a plate with a flat inner part, a coin of this type has never been minted before. We believe it does the Salzburg Festival justice.

Everyone hopes that he or she will find happiness in the form of a four-leaf clover. The Czech Mint decided to make this a little easier for everyone and prepared a silver coin with Czech crystal from the Crystal Coin gift line.
Clover is an ordinary herb with a modest appearance - it has a purple flower and a trifoliate leaf. However, approximately one plant out of ten thousand differs from its relative species - it has one extra leaf. Finding such a rare specimen in a meadow is not easy at all. It is no wonder that the fourth leaf of the four-leaf clover, which according to legend was brought by the biblical Eve from the Garden of Eden, has always been associated with happiness. The other three leaves then represent hope, faith and love. If you want a four-leaf clover to provide you with its magical power, you need to carry it with you - dried and pressed. Our ancestors, who wanted to protect their home, also placed it under the threshold. Moreover, the girls who wished to see the future groom in the dream put it under the pillow for a change.
The reverse side of the coin, which was processed by the medal maker Petra Brodská, DiS., presents two four-leaf clovers - one in the form of a relief ornament and the other composed of cut crystal stones. The composition of the reverse side is supplemented with a Czech-English inscription of ČTYŘLÍSTEK PRO ŠTĚSTÍ - FOUR-LEAF CLOVER FOR GOOD LUCK. You will also find the decoration in the form of an indicated heart-shaped leaf on the obverse side. Since the coins of the Czech Mint are licensed by the foreign issuer, the island of Niue, they bear the attributes of the obverse -, the year of issue 2025 and the nominal value of 2 DOLLARS (WST).
The coin comes in a limited edition of 1000 pieces and is an original gift for every occasion. It is stored in an elegant packaging which you can easily turn into a practical frame.
