Czechoslovakia 100 korun Revolt Against Occupation MS67 PCGS silver coin 1989

The 1989 Czechoslovakia 100 korun silver coin commemorates the 50th anniversary of the events of 17 November 1939, a significant moment in the history of Czechoslovakia connected with resistance against occupation and the struggle for national freedom. Issued by the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, the coin honors the memory of the student demonstrations and the repression that followed, which became an enduring symbol of courage and resistance.

The obverse features a powerful symbolic composition. At the top appears the inscription “17. LISTOPAD 1939–1989,” referring to the historic date. The central design shows a wooden post wrapped with multiple strands of barbed wire, representing oppression and imprisonment. Attached to the post is a round seal bearing a small emblem, while the surrounding broken and stretched barbed wires create a dramatic visual effect symbolizing resistance and the breaking of constraints.

The reverse displays the national emblem of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic — a heraldic rampant lion placed within a pentagonal shield and bearing a smaller shield with a stylized flame on its chest. Above the shield appears a five-pointed star. Around the design runs the inscription “ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ SOCIALISTICKÁ REPUBLIKA,” with the denomination “100 Kčs” below the coat of arms.

Struck in silver and preserved in excellent condition, this coin is certified MS67 by PCGS. It represents an important historical commemorative issue and an attractive addition for collectors interested in European history, political symbolism, and late Czechoslovak numismatic art.
