| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly stylized, modernist depiction of the Gothic west facade and twin spires of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague dominates the field, rendered with elegant linear engraving emphasizing the cathedral's soaring verticality and tracery detail. To the right of the central tower, a decorative episcopal device — suggestive of the archiepiscopal cross and mitre — is depicted in an ornamental manner. The dates '1344' and '1994' appear to the lower right, commemorating the 650th anniversary of the cathedral's founding. The legend 'KATEDRÁLA SV. VÍTA' arcs along the upper right rim, while 'ARCIBISKUPSTVÍ PRAŽSKÉ' curves along the lower left, both separated by decorative stops. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague was under continuous construction from 1344 until 1929 — nearly six centuries — making its formal completion in the twentieth century a rare case of a medieval building project actually finished. This coin was issued the year after the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia, when the newly independent Czech Republic was actively reaching for historical anchors to legitimize its statehood.
The Czech National Bank's early commemorative program leaned heavily on architectural subjects, and St. Vitus, as the burial site of Bohemian kings and Holy Roman Emperors, was an obvious first choice.
