Czechoslovakia 100 korun Painter Petr Brandl Art MS67 PCGS silver coin 1985

The 1985 Czechoslovakia 100 korun silver coin commemorates the outstanding Baroque painter Petr Brandl, one of the most significant figures in Czech art of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Brandl is widely recognized for his dramatic compositions, expressive portraits, and masterful use of light and shadow, which brought emotional intensity to his religious and historical paintings. His work played an important role in shaping Baroque painting in Bohemia and remains highly valued in European art history.

The reverse of the coin features a refined portrait of Petr Brandl inspired by classical Baroque portraiture. The artist is depicted with detailed facial features, flowing hair, and period attire, creating a sculptural and dignified composition. Surrounding the portrait is a circular inscription bearing his name “Petr Brandl” together with the commemorative dates marking the anniversary theme shown on the coin. The design emphasizes the artistic heritage associated with Brandl and his influence on Czech painting. The obverse displays the state emblem of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic — a heraldic lion standing inside a shield topped by a star — accompanied by the inscription “ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ SOCIALISTICKÁ REPUBLIKA” and the denomination “100 Kčs.”

Struck in silver and certified by PCGS as MS67 Mint State, this coin belongs to the Czechoslovak commemorative series honoring important personalities in art and culture. Its elegant portrait design and strong historical theme make it an appealing collectible for admirers of Baroque art, European painting, and world numismatics.
