Czechoslovakia 10 korun Prague Theater Godess Chariot PR66 PCGS silver coin 1968

The 1968 Czechoslovakia 10 korun silver coin commemorates “National Theatre in Prague – 1868–1968,” marking the centenary of the laying of the foundation stone of one of the country’s most important cultural institutions. The National Theatre stands as a powerful symbol of Czech artistic identity and national revival.

The reverse presents a dynamic classical scene: a theatrical goddess standing in a chariot drawn by two rearing horses, their muscles and flowing manes captured in elegant relief. The goddess raises a torch high above her head, symbolizing enlightenment and culture. Beneath the composition appear the dates 1868–1968, while the surrounding inscription references the National Theatre in Prague. The obverse features the emblem of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic — a rampant lion within a shield topped by a five-pointed star — with the denomination “10” below and the state name encircling the rim. The mirrored fields contrast beautifully with the frosted relief.

Struck in silver in Proof quality and certified PCGS PR66, this coin unites art, history, and national symbolism. A refined and meaningful commemorative for collectors of European cultural heritage issues.
