Czechoslovakia 50 korun 650 Years of Kremnica Mint MS68 PCGS silver coin 1978

The 1978 Czechoslovakia 50 korun silver commemorative coin was issued to celebrate the 650th anniversary of the Kremnica Mint (1328–1978), one of the oldest continuously operating mints in Europe. Founded in the medieval mining town of Kremnica, the mint became famous for producing high-quality coins that circulated throughout Central Europe for centuries.

The obverse features a complex numismatic composition dedicated to the history of coinage. Several historic coins and medallions are arranged in an overlapping circular pattern, each displaying detailed motifs such as royal portraits, heraldic shields, lions, crowns, and ornamental emblems. These miniature coin designs illustrate different eras of mint production. Surrounding the central composition is the inscription “650 ROKOV MINCOVNE V KREMNICI”, along with the commemorative dates 1328 – 1978.

The reverse presents the state emblem of Czechoslovakia, depicting the Czech lion with a crown and double tail inside a shield, a long-standing national heraldic symbol. Around the design runs the inscription “ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ SOCIALISTICKÁ REPUBLIKA”, with the denomination “50 Kčs” placed prominently below.

Struck in silver and certified PCGS MS68, this coin is preserved in superb condition with sharp details and strong luster. Combining historical significance, intricate numismatic imagery, and an important anniversary of European minting tradition, it is an outstanding addition for collectors of world silver coins and mint-history commemoratives.
