Czechoslovakia 10 korun Bratislava University House PR68 PCGS silver coin 1967

The 1967 Czechoslovakia 10 Korun silver commemorative coin marks the 500th anniversary of Academia Istropolitana in Bratislava, founded in 1467. Certified PCGS PR68CAM, this proof issue is a refined tribute to one of the earliest universities in Central Europe and a remarkable example of Czechoslovak medallic art.

The reverse showcases the imposing university building in строгая symmetrical perspective: a long rectangular façade with multiple rows of evenly spaced windows, a prominent central entrance tower with arched doorway, and a balanced roofline. Above the structure stands the date 1467, while 1967 appears below. In the foreground, a large circular university seal features a fortified gate and towers within a ringed inscription, adding depth and academic symbolism. The inscription “ACADEMIA ISTROPOLITANA” frames the entire composition along the rim.

The obverse presents the national coat of arms: a crowned heraldic lion holding a shield with a double cross, set beneath a five-pointed star. Below are stylized hills and flowing river lines symbolizing the Slovak landscape. The full state title encircles the design, with the denomination 10 at the bottom.

Struck in silver with a cameo proof finish and graded PR68CAM by PCGS, this coin offers brilliant mirrored fields and frosted relief. A meaningful piece of educational and architectural heritage, it is highly desirable for collectors of European commemoratives and certified silver proofs.
