| Obverse description | The Czechoslovak double-tailed lion rampant occupies the centre of the field, depicted in high relief with a crowned head, the tail bifurcated and curling elegantly to the right, and bearing a quartered shield on its chest representing the Bohemian and Slovak heraldic arms. The circumferential legend reads 'REPUBLIKA ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ' arranged around the periphery, with the date '1957' inscribed at the top of the field above the lion. The design is executed in a bold, graphic style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Central European coinage. |

| Reverse description | A sensitively modelled right-facing bust of Jan Ámos Komenský (Comenius), the renowned Moravian educator and philosopher, dominates the field in high relief. He is portrayed as an elderly bearded man wearing a period skull cap, with flowing hair and a long beard rendered with fine detail, conveying a dignified and scholarly character. The legend 'J·A·KOMENSKÝ' arcs along the upper left rim, while the dates '1592' and '1670' — denoting his birth and death years — appear in two lines at the lower right of the field. The denomination '10 KČS' is inscribed along the lower rim, with the engraver's initial 'D' (for František David) discretely placed near the truncation of the bust. |
