Czechoslovakia 100 korun 650 Years Birth Peter Parler PR69 PCGS silver coin 1980

The 1980 Czechoslovakia 100 Korun silver commemorative coin was issued to mark the 650th anniversary of the birth of Peter Parler, the renowned Gothic architect and master builder of Central Europe. Struck in silver and certified PR69 DCAM by PCGS, this proof coin beautifully honors one of the most influential figures in medieval architecture.

The obverse presents a detailed portrait of Peter Parler facing forward, with a short beard and calm, focused expression. Behind him rise elegant Gothic arches, symbolizing the soaring vaults and structural innovations of his architectural masterpieces. The inscription “PETR PARLÉŘ 1330–1980” appears below, marking the anniversary.

The reverse features the Czechoslovak coat of arms: a lion within a shield surmounted by a star, framed by stylized Gothic arch motifs that echo cathedral design. Surrounding the shield is the inscription “ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ SOCIALISTICKÁ REPUBLIKA,” with the denomination “100 Kčs” below.

Peter Parler is best known for his work on St. Vitus Cathedral and the Charles Bridge in Prague, leaving a lasting mark on European Gothic architecture. With its deep cameo contrast and near-perfect PR69 DCAM grade, this coin is a superb addition for collectors of architecture, history, and certified world silver issues.
