Beside the portrait appears his facsimile signature, set above a musical staff, emphasizing his legacy as a composer. The dates “1801–2001” are inscribed below. The reverse presents a vertically arranged heraldic composition combining the Czech lion and eagle motifs in a stylized column-like arrangement. The inscription “ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA” curves along the rim, while the denomination “200 Kč” is placed prominently within the design.

Struck in silver in Proof quality, this commemorative issue honors one of the key figures of Czech musical heritage. A meaningful addition for collectors of music, cultural history, and European commemorative coinage.
