| Reverse description | The central field features a stylised globe rendered with concentric latitude and longitude lines, evoking the iconic United Nations emblem. To the left, an olive branch — a symbol of peace — rises alongside the stacked anniversary dates '1945' and '1995', commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. The circumferential legend 'ORGANIZACE SPOJENÝCH NÁRODŮ' (United Nations) arcs around the lower and right portions of the rim in Latin script. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the United Nations, this coin appeared just two years after the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia — a country that had itself been a UN founding member in 1945. The newly independent Czech Republic used commemorative silver issues extensively in its early years as a straightforward mechanism for establishing numismatic presence on international markets.
KM#17 is one of several Czech commemoratives from 1995 sharing nearly identical production parameters, making die identification the primary differentiator among collector copies.
