Vasa” was a Swedish ship, which was considered the most high-tech warship of those times. The story of what happened to the ship still remains a mystery among experts. Despite being one of the Swedish navy’s biggest achievements, Vasa sank within twenty minutes of setting sail, on this day in 1628. It claims 30 lives.
Engineering problems sank the ship – but this disaster has become a boon for archaeologists. In the XXI century, it was pulled from the bay and 98% of the ship’s original wood was still intact, making it the world’s best-preserved ship.
The remains of the ship can be found in Stockholm’s Vasa Museum. According to the museum, it is the only preserved 17th-century ship in the world, and the museum is a place for historical and anthropological study as well as for visitors from all over the world.
“The most spectacular warship ever built” is beautifully depicted on this coin.

The unique gift series "Crystal Coin" is the result of a combination of traditional Jablonec crafts - the Czech Mint and Preciosa glassworks. One of the most popular motifs appearing on silver coins with Czech crystal is the birth of a child. The original cradle gift will also be issued in 2025.
Celebrating a new life takes different forms in different countries. Americans celebrate in advance - the party is held three weeks before the birth and is associated with a rich endowment of useful gifts that will come in handy after the birth. In Germany, on the other hand, they believe that giving gifts or holding parties before the baby is born brings bad luck. Russians, like Americans, are keen on practicality, and congratulations are not infrequently given to the baby with a complete outfit. Mexicans bring cigars to families where a baby boy is born, and otherwise the gift takes the form of chocolate. Special sweet gifts are also popular in the Netherlands, Belgium and Iran. And what about the Czechs? They have begun to revive the magic of a penny made of precious metal inserted into a cradle. But most mothers, regardless of nationality, will agree that throwing a party is the last thing they have the energy for before giving birth and after returning from the hospital. On the other hand, daddy's drinking the offspring is not to be missed in almost any culture...
The reverse side of the commemorative coin presents a combination of embossed relief, cut Czech crystal and traditional symbolism. The feet of the newborn baby are tiny, fragile and cute - they grow quickly and remind how tiny the baby was when the parents brought him home. In the rendition by medal maker Petra Brodská, DiS., the feet are supplemented with other baby motifs along with the bilingual inscription VÍTEJ NA SVĚTĚ - HELLO BABY. On the obverse side you will find a teddy bear. Since the coins of the Czech Mint are issued with the licence of a foreign issuer, which is the island of Niue, the obverse side bears its necessary attributes - the national emblem, the nominal value of 2 DOLLARS (NZD) and the year of issue 2025.
The coin represents an original, yet traditional gift for the birth of a child.

Born in Brixton, South London, in 1947, David Bowie began life as David Robert Jones. By the time he was 19 he had taken on his iconic name and was taking the first steps in one of the most innovative and influential careers in the history of sound and vision. His music electrified generations, and his perpetual state of reinvention kept music fans enthralled.
The third coin in our Music Legends collection celebrates rock’s definitive chameleon with a design inspired by an image of the singer from his time spent living and recording in Berlin. The inclusion of the lightning bolt motif from the Aladdin Sane era captures Bowie’s career journey, and the moment he finally put aside the props to emerge as an artist in his own right.
Available as limited-edition precious metal Proof editions and a standard Brilliant Uncirculated edition, the Brilliant Uncirculated edition is also available with three different slipcase covers, exclusively available from The Royal Mint and are a fitting tribute to the career of one of British music’s most enduring icons.
