Czechoslovakia 500 korun National Federation Oak Tree MS69 PCGS silver coin 1988

The 1988 Czechoslovakia 500 korun silver coin commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Czechoslovak Federation, a major constitutional transformation that reshaped the state structure into the Czech Socialist Republic and the Slovak Socialist Republic within a federal system. This issue captures the political identity of late Czechoslovakia through a symbolic and highly decorative design, making it an important historical collectible.

The reverse features a stylized oak tree with a solid trunk and broad branches covered with sharply engraved oak leaves. Around the foliage are small floral rosettes and ornamental details, while a flowing ribbon winds across the lower part of the composition. The surrounding inscription names the Czechoslovak Federation, and the dates “1968–1988” mark the twentieth anniversary of the federal arrangement. The oak motif conveys endurance, stability, and continuity.

The obverse bears the coat of arms of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic: a heraldic shield with a crowned double-tailed lion beneath a five-pointed star. On both sides appear linden leaves with small floral elements, while below are the state name and denomination “500 Kčs.” Struck in silver and certified PCGS MS69, this superb coin offers outstanding preservation, sharp detail, and strong historical appeal for collectors of Czechoslovak commemoratives and political-themed world silver issues.
