Czechoslovakia 50 korun Poet Josef Jungmann PR67 PCGS silver coin 1973

The 1973 Czechoslovakia 50 korun silver coin honors Josef Jungmann, one of the most influential figures of the Czech National Revival and a key architect of modern Czech literary language. Issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of his birth, this coin celebrates the legacy of the linguist, translator, and poet who played a decisive role in preserving and developing Czech culture and literature.

The obverse features a finely engraved right-facing portrait of Josef Jungmann with long flowing hair, capturing the thoughtful character of the scholar. Beneath the portrait appear his name and the commemorative dates marking his birth and the bicentenary year, emphasizing the historical significance of the issue. The reverse displays the national emblem of Czechoslovakia — a heraldic shield with the powerful Czech lion standing on its hind legs, crowned and holding symbolic authority. Around the design runs the state title, while the denomination “50” and “Kč” is placed prominently below, framed by a smooth reflective field typical of proof coinage.

Josef Jungmann (1773–1847) was a pioneering linguist, translator, and author whose monumental Czech-German dictionary and literary works helped restore the Czech language as a cultural and scholarly medium during the 19th century.

Struck in silver in beautiful Proof quality and certified by PCGS as PR67 DCAM, this collectible coin combines historical importance, elegant design, and certified preservation. It is an outstanding piece for collectors of European silver coins, literary history, and Czechoslovak numismatics.
