Czechoslovakia 500 korun National Federation Oak Tree PR64 PCGS silver coin 1988

The 1988 Czechoslovakia 500 korun silver commemorative coin marks the 20th anniversary of the Czechoslovak Federation, established in 1968 when the state was reorganized into a federal structure uniting the Czech Socialist Republic and the Slovak Socialist Republic. This commemorative issue reflects themes of unity, growth, and cooperation through a beautifully symbolic artistic design.

The reverse presents a stylized tree with a strong trunk and spreading branches covered with large, carefully engraved leaves. Around the foliage are small decorative blossoms and rosette-like flowers, adding rhythm and ornament to the composition. Beneath the tree flows a ribbon that curves across the lower part of the design, reinforcing the theme of connection and continuity. The surrounding inscription names the Czechoslovak Federation, while the dates “1968–1988” commemorate twenty years since the establishment of the federal state.

The obverse features the coat of arms of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. A heraldic shield displays a powerful double-tailed lion beneath a five-pointed star, symbolizing state authority. On both sides of the shield appear linden branches with leaves and small flowers, traditional national symbols. Below the composition are the country name and the denomination “500 Kčs.”

Struck in silver and graded PCGS PR64, this coin combines elegant symbolism, sharp proof surfaces, and important political history, making it a desirable addition to collections of Czechoslovak commemoratives and world silver coinage.
