Czechoslovakia 100 korun Horse Drawn Railway MS68 PCGS silver coin 1982

The 1982 Czechoslovakia 100 korun silver coin commemorates the 150th anniversary of the historic horse-drawn railway connecting České Budějovice and Linz. Opened in 1832, this line was one of the earliest railways on the European continent and an important milestone in the development of modern transportation. The railway played a key role in regional trade and communication, marking a transitional period between traditional horse-drawn transport and the later era of steam locomotives.

The obverse depicts a detailed scene of the early railway system. A horse pulls a carriage along the tracks, illustrating the pioneering transport technology of the early nineteenth century. In the background, stylized hills create depth in the composition, while a railway wagon appears to the right, emphasizing the historical character of the route between České Budějovice and Linz. The design celebrates the technological innovation and economic importance of this early rail connection.

The reverse features the emblem of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic with the heraldic Czech lion inside a shield crowned by a five-pointed star. Below appears the denomination 100 Kčs along with the official state inscription.

Struck in silver and certified PCGS MS68, this coin represents an exceptional mint-state example. With its historical transportation theme and outstanding preservation, it is a desirable collectible for enthusiasts of railway history, European technology heritage, and certified world silver coins.
