Design of commemorative silver coin to mark the Czech Republic’s entry into the Schengen Area approved

At its meeting on 17 January 2008 the CNB Bank Board approved the design of a commemorative silver coin to mark the Czech Republic's entry into the Schengen Area. The coin was designed by sculptor Zbyněk Fojtů. The design arose from a competition which was assessed by the Commission for the Evaluation of Designs for Czech Banknotes and Coins on 15 January 2008 at the CNB.
