| Additional information |
Martin Kukučín — pen name of Matej Bencúr — was the leading Slovak prose writer of the late 19th century, best known for his realist novels set among the rural Slovak peasantry. This issue marked the centenary of his first major published works. Czechoslovakia's commemorative 100-korun silver series of the 1980s was a consistent vehicle for rehabilitating Slovak cultural figures within an officially Czechoslovak national narrative — a political balancing act that ran through the entire series.
