Additional information

Jan Neruda, the Czech journalist and poet, lent his name to the famous Nerudova Street in Prague's Malá Strana — though the street predates him, and Pablo Neruda later took his pen name from the Czech writer. This coin was issued to mark the 150th anniversary of Jan Neruda's birth. Czechoslovakia's commemorative 100 Korun series of the 1980s was struck in a debased .500 fine silver alloy, a quiet reflection of the hard-currency pressures facing socialist-bloc states during that decade.
