| Additional information |
Bouzov Castle in northern Moravia spent much of the twentieth century in remarkable institutional limbo — seized from the Teutonic Knights by the Nazis in 1939, briefly returned after the war, then confiscated again by the Czechoslovak communist government in 1948. The Knights never recovered ownership. The Czech National Bank's architectural gold series has consistently chosen subjects with complicated ownership histories, and Bouzov fits that pattern exactly.
The .9999 fineness places this coin among the purest gold issues in the CNB's output — finer than the standard .900 used in earlier Czech commemorative gold.
