A new coin.
The 1981 Czechoslovakia 100 Korun silver commemorative coin marks the 20th anniversary of the first human spaceflight, honoring Yuri Gagarin’s historic journey into orbit. Struck in silver and certified PR69 DCAM by PCGS, this exceptional proof issue captures the spirit of space exploration at the height of the cosmic era.
The obverse features a detailed portrait of a cosmonaut wearing a helmet marked “CCCP,” symbolizing the Soviet space program. Dynamic orbital lines sweep across the field, intersecting near the visor and evoking the motion of a spacecraft around Earth. The inscription “ČLOVĚK V KOSMU 1961–1981” curves along the lower edge, commemorating twenty years since humanity first entered space. The year 1981 appears to the right.
The reverse displays the Czechoslovak coat of arms: a lion within a shield topped by a star, encircled by the inscription “ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ SOCIALISTICKÁ REPUBLIKA.” Below the shield stands the denomination “100 Kčs.”
Yuri Gagarin’s 1961 flight aboard Vostok 1 changed world history, opening the era of manned space exploration. With its deep cameo contrast and sharp proof surfaces, this PR69 DCAM example is a standout addition for collectors of space, Cold War history, and world silver coinage.
