Czechoslovakia 100 korun Poet karel Hynek Macha MS68 PCGS silver coin 1986

The 1986 Czechoslovakia 100 korun silver commemorative coin honors Karel Hynek Mácha, one of the most important figures in Czech Romantic literature. Mácha is best known for his lyrical epic poem Máj (“May”), which became a cornerstone of Czech literary heritage and a defining work of Romanticism in Central Europe. His poetry explored themes of nature, love, tragedy, and human emotion, leaving a lasting influence on Czech culture and literature.

The reverse of the coin features a stylized portrait of Karel Hynek Mácha with a thoughtful and expressive appearance that reflects the introspective spirit of Romantic poetry. The inscriptions “KAREL HYNEK MÁCHA” and the commemorative dates “1836–1986” appear beside the portrait, marking the 150th anniversary of the poet’s death. The elegant composition emphasizes the literary significance of Mácha’s legacy. The obverse displays the emblem of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic — a heraldic lion within a shield topped by a star — together with the denomination “100 Kčs” and the inscription “ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ SOCIALISTICKÁ REPUBLIKA.”

Struck in silver and graded MS68 by PCGS, this coin represents an exceptionally well-preserved example from the Czechoslovak commemorative series dedicated to prominent cultural figures. Its literary theme and refined portrait design make it a desirable collectible for enthusiasts of European literature, Czech cultural history, and world numismatics.
