| Reverse description | A female figure, rendered in a naturalistic socialist realist style, is depicted in the act of planting a linden sprig, symbolic of Czechoslovak national identity. The numeral denomination '1' appears prominently to the left of the central motif within the field. The engraver's abbreviated signature 'M·KUČOVÁ' is inscribed along the lower margin of the design. The composition conveys themes of renewal and civic virtue characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Eastern European coinage. |

| Additional information |
This type runs across nearly three decades of normalized Communist rule, from the post-Stalinist thaw through the suppressed reforms of 1968 and into the slow decay of the 1980s. The Czechoslovak koruna was a non-convertible currency throughout — its exchange rate set by decree, not markets — which meant these coins circulated in an economy of fixed prices and chronic shortages rather than anything resembling open commerce.
Production continued uninterrupted through the Warsaw Pact invasion of August 1968, a detail that underscores how thoroughly the monetary apparatus functioned independently of political upheaval.
