| Reverse description | The reverse design centres on the numeral 68, rendered in bold relief, in which the figure eight is shown in the process of dissolving and fragmenting into a flock of birds in flight, symbolising the mass emigration from Czechoslovakia following the Soviet-led invasion of August 1968. The birds scatter across the field, conveying movement, dispersal, and the yearning for liberty. The year inscription EMIGRACE 68 appears twice in the legend, framing the central motif, with the date repeated as a deliberate compositional element reinforcing the historical reference. The overall design is executed in a high-relief proof finish with frosted devices against a polished field. |
