| Reverse description | The reverse bears a large, close-cropped portrait of Czech poet Josef Kainar occupying the majority of the field, rendered in a bold, modernist relief style emphasizing his distinctive eyeglasses and facial features. The name 'JOSEF KAINAR' is inscribed in a stylized arc across the upper portion of the field, integrated into the hair of the portrait. The birth and centenary years '1917' and '2017' appear flanking the name inscription above. The engraver's initial 'D' is located near the lower right rim. The composition conveys a strong sense of artistic character befitting a commemorative issue honoring a major figure of Czech literature. |
