Czechoslovakia 50 korun Centennial Birth S.K. Neumann PR68 PCGS silver coin 1975

The 1975 Czechoslovakia 50 korun silver proof coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of the birth of Stanislav Kostka Neumann (1875–1975), one of the most influential figures in Czech literature. A poet, journalist, critic, and cultural activist, Neumann played an important role in shaping modern Czech poetry and literary thought during the early 20th century. His works reflected social change, artistic experimentation, and the evolving cultural identity of Czechoslovakia.

The obverse features a right-facing portrait of S. K. Neumann, depicted in a clean and expressive sculptural style. The finely modeled profile highlights the writer’s facial features and contemplative expression. Along the rim is the inscription “S. K. NEUMANN”, while the commemorative dates “1875–1975” appear beside the portrait, marking the centennial of his birth.

The reverse displays the state emblem of Czechoslovakia, featuring the heraldic Czech lion with crown and double tail inside a shield beneath a five-pointed star. Around the emblem runs the inscription “ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ SOCIALISTICKÁ REPUBLIKA”, while the denomination “50 Kčs” is positioned below.

Struck in silver in proof quality and certified PCGS PR68, this coin shows strong cameo contrast with deeply mirrored fields and sharp details. Combining literary heritage with elegant numismatic design, it is a highly desirable collectible for enthusiasts of literature, cultural history, and Czechoslovak commemorative coinage.
