| Obverse description | The obverse features the Czech national coat of arms — a quartered shield displaying the Bohemian lion and the Moravian and Silesian eagles — rendered in high relief at the center of the field, with a mirror image of the same arms reflected below it, creating a striking symmetrical composition. The circular legend ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA arcs along the upper periphery. The face value 200 KČ and the mintage figure 500 are inscribed in the central field between the two coats of arms. The design is executed in a clean, modern engraving style with polished fields. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized scene of fishermen punting a boat across water, referencing Jakub Krčín's renowned management of the South Bohemian fishpond system in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The figures stand in a flat-bottomed vessel amid schematically rendered waves, with elongated poles extending to the upper field. A mirror image of the scene is reflected below the waterline, emphasizing the theme of water engineering. The legend JAKUB KRČÍN Z JELČAN A SEDLČAN arcs across the upper left field, with the commemorative dates 1604·2004 below it, and the engraver's initials VO appear discreetly in the right field. |
