| Obverse description | The obverse displays the quartered coat of arms of Czechoslovakia occupying the central field, featuring the Bohemian double-tailed lion rampant in the central escutcheon, flanked by the Moravian eagle, the Slovak cross, and the Carpathian bear in the surrounding quarters. The shield is rendered with fine heraldic detail in a crisp, Art Deco engraving style. The circular legend REPUBLIKA ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ arcs around the upper and lower periphery in Latin characters, separated by a beaded border running along the coin's rim. |
