Czechoslovakia 100 korun Painter Petr Brandl MS68 PCGS silver coin 1985

The 1985 Czechoslovakia 100 korun silver coin commemorates the prominent Czech Baroque painter Petr Brandl, an influential figure in the development of Central European painting during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Brandl is celebrated for his dramatic artistic style, expressive portraiture, and powerful use of light and shadow, which brought emotional depth and movement to religious and historical compositions. His paintings remain among the most important works of Czech Baroque art.

The reverse features a carefully sculpted portrait of Petr Brandl inspired by classical Baroque portrait imagery. The artist is shown with softly modeled facial features, flowing hair, and period clothing typical of the era. Surrounding the portrait is a decorative circular frame bearing the inscription “Petr Brandl,” accompanied by the commemorative dates marking the anniversary theme presented on the coin. The refined portrait design reflects the artistic heritage and influence of Brandl’s work. The obverse displays the state emblem of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic — a heraldic lion inside a shield topped by a star — together with the inscription “ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ SOCIALISTICKÁ REPUBLIKA” and the denomination “100 Kčs.”

Struck in silver and certified by PCGS as MS68 Mint State, this coin represents a superbly preserved example from the Czechoslovak commemorative series dedicated to great cultural figures. Its elegant artistic design makes it a desirable collectible for enthusiasts of Baroque painting, European art history, and world numismatics.
