Czechoslovakia 100 Years Sculptor Josef Myslbek Art silver token medal coin 1972

The 1972 Czechoslovakia 100 Korun silver commemorative medal celebrates the 100th anniversary of sculptor Josef Václav Myslbek, a leading figure of Czech monumental art. Issued in silver, this artistic medal pays tribute to the master whose works became symbols of national pride and cultural identity.

The obverse presents a dignified left-facing portrait of Myslbek, his beard and profile rendered in smooth, sculptural relief. Above the portrait are the dates 1872–1972. To the right, inside a circular medallion bordered by concentric lines, stands an allegorical female figure in flowing drapery accompanied by two children—one raising an object, the other stepping forward—reflecting Myslbek’s classical inspiration and mastery of human form. The lower inscription reads “SOCHAŘSTVÍ J. V. MYSLBEK” with the denomination “100” beneath.

The reverse features the Czechoslovak coat of arms: a crowned lion within a shield, surrounded by the inscription “ČESKOSLOVENSKO.” At the bottom, four stylized architectural pylons connected by a horizontal line create a subtle decorative element, enhancing the medal’s modernist composition.

Best known for the monumental statue of Saint Wenceslas in Prague, Myslbek shaped the visual language of Czech public sculpture. This silver commemorative medal is a meaningful acquisition for collectors of fine art, sculpture, and Czechoslovak heritage.
