| Reverse description | A finely detailed, high-relief depiction of a Kladruber stallion in a proud, elevated trot occupies the central field, set against a polished mirror background within a large horseshoe motif rendered in relief. A decorative dotted border frames the left side of the inner design, and ornate acanthus-leaf scrollwork fills the lower right of the inner field. The legend CHOV STAROKLADRUBSKÉHO KONĚ is distributed around the outer rim, reading from the left and lower border of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Kladrubers are among the oldest horse breeds still bred to their original purpose — the Bohemian imperial court established the Kladruby nad Labem stud in 1579, and the breed has been maintained there with near-unbroken continuity ever since. The stud survived the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire largely because Czechoslovak authorities recognized its historical value and absorbed it into state control rather than dispersing the stock.
UNESCO inscribed the traditional Kladruber breeding and training system on its Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2019, four years after this coin was issued.
