Czechoslovakia 100 Years Poet Andrej Sladkovic MS67 PCGS silver medal 1972

The 1972 Czechoslovakia 100 Korun silver commemorative medal honors the 100th anniversary of the birth of poet Andrej Sládkovič, one of the most important figures of Slovak Romantic literature. Struck in silver and graded MS67 by PCGS, this beautifully preserved piece celebrates national culture and literary heritage.

The obverse features a finely detailed portrait of Andrej Sládkovič in three-quarter view, capturing his thoughtful expression, distinctive facial features, and swept-back hair. The dates 1872–1972 frame the composition, while his name appears prominently below, accompanied by delicate linden branch motifs and the denomination “100.” The reverse displays the Slovak national coat of arms — a double cross standing on three hills within a shield — surrounded by the inscription “ČESKOSLOVENSKO.” At the bottom, a subtle ornamental element resembling architectural pylons connected by a line adds depth and symbolism.

Andrej Sládkovič is best known for his epic poem “Marína,” a cornerstone of Slovak Romanticism that shaped national identity and literary language. His works emphasized love, patriotism, and cultural awakening during a crucial period in Central European history.

Certified MS67 by PCGS, this silver commemorative issue stands out for its sharp relief and attractive luster. A meaningful addition for collectors of literary themes and Czechoslovak numismatics.
