About us

Executive Director

Elizej is a co-founder and managing partner of the company.

His fascination with coins and money began in his early childhood. He was introduced to systematic collecting by his grandfather, the founder of the family’s collecting tradition. His professional and expert focus covers a long period ranging from Celtic coins from the territory of Slovakia to modern 20th century coinage. His specialties are Renaissance and Baroque medals and pattern strikes. Elizej’s previous experience in financial market analyses, trading, and portfolio management makes him perfectly suited for his role of strategist and market risk manager in the Macho & Chlapovič Group.

Financial Director

In the past, Elizej worked for several banks and was in the finance and banking industry for almost 20 years.

His interest in finance led him to alternative investment and, through his father and with the support of his son, to numismatics. He is mainly fascinated by the oldest coinage from the Celtic period. He admires how people living in the era before the birth of Christ managed to masterfully transform their artistic ideas into gold and silver. Elizej is one of the founding members of the company. He specialises in financial and economic management and precious metals trading.

COO

Andrej has been with the company since its very beginning. He participated in its planning, establishing itself in the market, expanding in Slovakia and abroad, and in gradually building the business and auction house into what is an internationally recognised company today.

He has a degree in foreign trade. He is the director of the Bratislava branch, of which he is the guarantor, and manages the preparation of auction catalogues. He is also the auction guarantor for medieval Hungarian coins from the period of elected kings and coins of the Arpad dynasty. Beside this, he is interested in Hungarian coins from the Habsburg era. In addition to numismatics, he also likes new technology and his knowledge in this field enables him to run the technological side of the company.

Director of the Prague branch

Jan has been with us since the opening of the Prague branch and currently ensures its smooth operation.

He always gives his clients his full attention, regardless of whether they come in with an ordinary small coin or a truly unique piece. He encountered numismatics at an early age, as his grandfather used to collect coins and stamps and Jan, while visiting, would observe him taking care of them. In this way, he gradually gained valuable advice and experience. It taught him the patience and modesty he still has today. He specialises in coins of the Austrian Empire and the popular First Republic, as well as contemporary modern production. He is in charge of compiling our annual Catalogue of Czechoslovak, Czech and Slovak Coins. He is no stranger to older Habsburg coins and medals.

Auction Specialist & Numismatic Expert

Radim is a professional guarantor for our Prague branch and also an auction guarantor for Habsburg Bohemian and Austrian coins and medals from the period of 1657–1848, including church and family coinage.

He is also a guarantor for paper money across all periods, but especially Czechoslovakia. He has been actively involved in numismatics continuously since 2006. He studied law and holds a Doctor of Law degree, as well as a degree in antique studies from the Rudolphian Academy in Prague. In his own collecting pursuits, he focuses on Hungarian ancestral coinage and medals with anti-Turkish themes, while in the case of paper money, his favourites are Czechoslovak and Slovak banknotes. He is the author of two specialised publications on Czechoslovak, Czech, and Slovak banknotes, alongside several scholarly articles.

Auction Specialist

Tomáš is an auction guarantor for Celtic, Greek, and Roman coins, as well as Czech medieval coins and Habsburg coins until 1657 (with the exception of Transylvanian and Hungarian coinage), and also a guarantor for foreign coins up to the middle of the 17th century.

He became acquainted with numismatics thanks to his grandfather, who, once retired, devoted his free time to collecting coins. During his grandson’s frequent visits, he introduced him to his modest collection and led him to read numismatic literature. Since then, Tomáš has been heavily involved in numismatics, even at an academic research level. He regularly lectures at conferences in the Czech Republic and abroad, and publishes scholarly articles. He is considered one of the leading experts in Central European Celtic coinage and Czech coinage of the 16th and early 17th centuries.

Marketing Manager

Renáta is the one who keeps you up to date on our company’s events and other news and she also likes to share interesting things from the world of numismatics and investment.

She has a degree in financial management, so the world of finance and investment is close to her. It was her husband Andrej who initially got her interested in history and numismatics. By his side, she observed the foundation and gradual growth of the company. Her favourite parts of history are the periods of the Celts and the Slavs, their ways of life, economy, jewellery, and in particular the customs and traditions they followed. In addition to Celtic coins, she is also interested in coinage from the Habsburg era, especially from the time of Maria Theresa.

Sales Manager

Juraj originally discovered the magic of numismatics at preschool age when, while ill, he received an album from his mother, the aim of which was to collect the euro coins of the first twelve countries of the euro area.

He took the album with him on all his holidays abroad until his quest was complete. Juraj gradually expanded his collection of euro coins with coins and banknotes from Czechoslovakia and Germany. With his father, he began to regularly attend numismatic auctions, at which the most valuable golden Hungarian and Czechoslovak ducats were his favourite. Currently, he specializes in Czechoslovak and world coins, as well as paper money from our territory. Juraj ensures regular updates of our offer on various online platforms.

Director of the Bratislava branch

You can meet Andrej during your visit in our Bratislava showroom, where he will gladly guide you through the world of numismatics, investing, and coin collecting. He has been interested in numismatics since a young age, when at the age of eight, he bought his first gold coin with the money earned from a part-time job during a trip to Vienna. Since then, he has been hooked on numismatics and has become literally "addicted" to it. He specializes mainly in gold and silver coins of Slovakia, Czechoslovakia, and Austria-Hungary. He actively engages in and supports the development of numismatics in Slovakia, especially for younger generations.
