| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely modeled portrait bust of Bedřich Smetana in high relief, facing slightly to the left, depicted in his later years with characteristic round spectacles, a full beard, and receding wavy hair. The effigy occupies the majority of the coin's field and is rendered in a naturalistic, painterly style emphasizing the composer's distinguished features. The circular legend BEDŘICH SMETANA arcs along the lower rim, while the commemorative dates 1824 – 2024 marking the bicentenary of his birth appear along the upper periphery. The engraver's initial H is inscribed in the lower field. The composition conveys a sense of gravitas befitting one of the foremost figures of Czech classical music. |
