The largest spring meeting of collectors of postage stamps, coins, banknotes, postcards and other collectible material took place on 21-22 March at the Olympik Hotel****. Over 80 dealers from all over Europe came to Prague again this year.
The counterfeit Czech banknotes detected by the Czech National Bank in 2024 were of low quality. Most of them had almost no security features replicated. The number of counterfeit banknotes decreased significantly compared to the previous year. The most counterfeited banknote remained the 2 000 CZK.
Two stamps of interest to philatelists and numismatists have been issued by the Czech Post. They commemorate 700 years since the start of the minting of the gold florin and 725 years of the Prague groschen.
The most valuable Czechoslovak banknote has a new owner. The five-thousandth state note sold for a record EUR 1 027 200 at an auction in Prague in November 2024, easily surpassing its perforated version, which previously held the record of EUR 580 000.
Christmas presents not only for collectors can be bought at the Christmas Sberatel fair. More than 80 dealers from all over Europe will be offering visitors coins, banknotes, stamps, postcards, antiques and other collectibles at the Hotel Olympik in Prague from 22 to 23 November. The collections can be viewed free of charge and there will be an opportunity to see many rarities.
Despite the extreme weather, nearly 10,000 visitors did not miss the 27th edition of the largest collectors’ meeting in Central and Eastern Europe. From 6 to 7 September, over 230 exhibitors from all over the world offered them stamps, coins, banknotes, postcards and other collecting material at the PVA Expo Prague exhibition centre.
The popular “emoji” are an interesting revival of the Czech Post’s issue plan. A series of five stamps shows the journey of a letter from the writer through the post office to its delivery to the addressee.
Every year, the Association of Public European Postal Operators PostEurop announces a common stamp theme for its members. This year, “aquatic fauna and flora” was chosen as the theme for the stamp under the common EUROPA designation. Czech Post entrusted the motif to our leading specialists in natural themes, Jaromír and Libuše Knotek.
