| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the rampant Bohemian lion with a small Slovak escutcheon on its chest, set within an ornate heraldic frame. The shield is surmounted by a crown, with decorative foliate elements flanking the sides of the composition. The circular legend REPUBLIKA ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ arcs around the upper field in Latin characters, while the date is placed in the lower exergual area between decorative stops. The overall design reflects a refined neoclassical heraldic style executed in high relief. |

| Reverse description | Full-length frontal effigy of Saint Wenceslas depicted in medieval armour, holding a long banner staff in his right hand and resting his left hand upon a shield bearing the Bohemian eagle. The saint is rendered in a hieratic, stylised manner characteristic of interwar Czechoslovak coin design, with finely detailed chainmail and belt visible. A beaded inner border frames the central figure, with the devotional legend NEDEJ·ZAHYNOUTI·NÁM·I·BUDOUCÍM encircling the periphery. Mint marks appear in the lower field flanking the shield. The composition draws on Gothic iconographic tradition in its treatment of the patron saint of Bohemia. |
