The 1990 Czechoslovakia 100 korun silver coin commemorates the renowned Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů, one of the most influential musical figures of the 20th century. Celebrating the centenary of his birth (1890–1990), this coin honors a composer whose innovative style blended classical traditions with modernist techniques, folk inspiration, and rhythmic vitality. Martinů composed symphonies, concertos, chamber music, and operas that gained international recognition and left a lasting mark on modern classical music.

The obverse features a thoughtful portrait of Bohuslav Martinů, presented with expressive sculptural detail that highlights his distinctive facial features and contemplative expression.

The shield is divided into four fields featuring heraldic Czech lions and Slovak double crosses on hills, symbols representing the historic unity of the Czech and Slovak lands. Beneath the shield appears the denomination 100 Kčs, framed by the circular inscription of the country’s official name.
