Before beginning the design process, it was essential to select symbols that are representative and suitable for coins. I did extensive research, exploring the symbolism adopted by other countries and identifying the themes most commonly featured on coins of specific denominations. Next, I obtained physical coins to assess which reliefs were truly legible, allowing me to eliminate overly detailed designs that would lose clarity. My final selected symbols included a two-tailed lion (2 euro), the Prague Astronomical Clock (1 euro), a map of the Czech Republic (50, 20, 10 cents), and a heart-shaped linden leaf (5, 2, 1 cent). I developed the designs using Adobe Photoshop and Blender.
