The Czech Mint has unveiled a gold bullion coin weighing $1/200$ of a troy ounce, featuring an incuse design.
Developed through a manufacturing process called THINCUSE™, this thin coin balances a lightweight specification with a detailed relief. The mint designed the piece to offer a more affordable entry point for precious metal purchasing, following a significant rise in global gold prices over the past 12 months.
Industry professionals interested in a technical overview or a detailed breakdown of the development process can read the full product article below.
Breakthrough Minting Technology: The THINCUSE™ Development
The creation of a $1/200$ troy ounce coin required several adjustments to standard minting processes to handle the physical constraints of extremely thin gold planchets. The resulting THINCUSE™ technology combines specific pressure adjustments with deep incuse striking to prevent metal stress while maintaining visual clarity.
The mint intends to share further structural details of the project with industry partners in upcoming publications. To discuss potential coverage in your organisation’s newsletter or to view the complete technical specifications, contact Antonín Hujer at the Czech Mint.
