Czechoslovakia 100 korun Ivan Olbracht Literature PR69 PCGS silver coin 1982

The 1982 Czechoslovakia 100 korun silver coin was issued to commemorate the centenary of the birth of Ivan Olbracht, an influential Czech writer, journalist, and public intellectual whose works played an important role in 20th-century literature. His writing often explored social themes, the lives of ordinary people, and the cultural landscape of Central Europe.

The obverse of the coin features a detailed portrait of Ivan Olbracht shown in profile, wearing his characteristic hat. The artist carefully captured the writer’s thoughtful expression, facial features, and distinctive appearance. Along the left edge appears the inscription “IVAN OLB R A C H T,” while the dates “1882–1982” are placed near the portrait, marking the centenary of his birth. The composition focuses on the personality of the author, emphasizing his cultural significance and intellectual legacy.

The reverse displays the national emblem of Czechoslovakia — a heraldic shield bearing the Czech lion with a smaller shield featuring the Slovak double cross, surmounted by a five-pointed star. Around the design appears the inscription “ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ SOCIALISTICKÁ REPUBLIKA.” The denomination is shown as “100 KČS,” placed on either side of the shield.

Struck in silver and certified PCGS PR69 DCAM, this proof coin exhibits deep mirrored fields and strong cameo contrast with finely detailed relief. A remarkable collectible for admirers of European literature, historical personalities, and classic Czechoslovak commemorative coinage.
