In the Czech Republic, the lion is recognized as a national symbol of power and sovereignty. On the official coat of arms, the lion is depicted with two tails for reasons that are not entirely clear. A common explanation is that King Ottokar I aided Emperor Otto IV in his defeat of the Saxons in 1204. In recognition, the heraldic lion design was updated to include two tails. Whether this is true or not, there is no doubt that the lion itself is crucial to the culture and history of the Czech Republic.
A portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is featured on the obverse of 2022 1/25 oz Gold Czech Lion Coins. The effigy of Her Majesty is included because these coins are licensed by Niue Island. However, included on the obverse also is an eagle that combines elements from the St. Wenceslas, Moravian, and Silesian designs.
A lion is depicted on the reverse field of 2022 1/25 oz Niue Czech Lion Coins. This majestic creature is shown in close-up with remarkable attention to detail.
