| Beschrijving keerzijde | A frontal effigy of Saint Adalbert (Sv. Vojtěch) dominates the field, depicted in Romanesque artistic style as a bishop vested in liturgical robes and wearing a mitre. He holds a pastoral staff (crozier) in his right hand and raises his left hand in a gesture of blessing. The design is rendered in a deliberately archaic, icon-like manner evoking medieval manuscript or relief traditions. The legend SV. VOJTĚCH arcs along the upper left, with the commemorative dates 997–1997 inscribed along the lower right periphery, marking the millennium of the saint's martyrdom. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vojtěch — known in Latin as Adalbert — was Bishop of Prague before abandoning the see twice in frustration over the local nobility's resistance to Christian reform. He was killed by a pagan Prussian priest near Truso in 997 AD, making this coin's 1997 date a precise millenary issue. The Czech National Bank produced several such anniversary silvers through the 1990s, each tied to a specific historical or cultural centenary.
His remains were purchased by Bolesław I of Poland and interred at Gniezno, which became a major pilgrimage site and a political instrument in Poland's bid for ecclesiastical independence from Magdeburg.
