Issued to mark the centenary of Greater Prague — the 1922 administrative unification that absorbed dozens of surrounding municipalities into a single city, expanding Prague's population overnight from roughly 200,000 to over 670,000. The political consolidation had been debated for years before the First Czechoslovak Republic finally forced it through, overriding considerable resistance from suburban communities that resisted absorption into the capital.
At one kilogram of .999 silver, this belongs to the Czech National Bank's established line of large-format collector issues. Mintage for pieces in this series is typically tightly controlled, with strict per-customer purchase limits applied at release.
