The 1991 Czechoslovakia 50 korun silver commemorative coin marks the 150th anniversary of the first steamship “Bohemia”, an important milestone in the history of navigation and technological progress in Central Europe. Issued by the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic, the coin celebrates early steam-powered transport that helped transform river trade and passenger travel in the 19th century. Struck in silver with elegant proof-like surfaces, this commemorative issue captures a key moment in industrial and transport history.
The reverse presents a detailed depiction of the historic steamship Bohemia sailing across stylized wavy river lines. The vessel features a tall mast with a flag, rigging, a prominent steam chimney releasing clouds of smoke, and a visible paddle wheel at the center of the ship. Behind the ship appears a line of buildings and riverside structures, emphasizing the connection between industry and commerce. Along the upper rim is the inscription BOHEMIA, while below the waves the dates 1841–1991 commemorate 150 years since the vessel’s launch. At the lower right is a small propeller and anchor-like nautical symbol, reinforcing the maritime theme.
The obverse displays the state emblem of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic—a quartered shield combining the Czech lion and the Slovak double cross on three hills. Surrounding the coat of arms is the inscription ČESKÁ A SLOVENSKÁ FEDERATIVNÍ REPUBLIKA, with the denomination 50 Kčs below.
Combining historical significance, industrial symbolism, and elegant engraving, this silver commemorative coin is an excellent collectible for enthusiasts of maritime history, transport technology, and European numismatics.
