Czechoslovakia 100 korun Writer Jaroslav Hasek Literature PR68 PCGS Ag coin 1983

The 1983 Czechoslovakia 100 korun silver coin honors the celebrated Czech writer Jaroslav Hašek, one of the most influential literary figures of Central Europe and the author of the famous satirical novel The Good Soldier Švejk. Issued by the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, this commemorative coin pays tribute to Hašek’s sharp humor, social criticism, and lasting contribution to world literature.

The obverse features a detailed portrait of Jaroslav Hašek facing slightly to the side, capturing his expressive face, short hair, and characteristic thoughtful expression.

Fine engraving lines and a smooth mirrored background enhance the sculptural quality of the portrait.

Surrounding the design is the inscription “ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ SOCIALISTICKÁ REPUBLIKA”, while the denomination 100 Kčs appears below the shield. The composition combines national symbolism with elegant minimalist engraving typical of Czechoslovak commemorative coinage.
