Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Korun (Ján Botto) 1979 coin from Czechoslovakia is that it features a unique design that was created by Ján Botto, a Slovak poet and artist. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Botto, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a flower, which is meant to symbolize the beauty and fragility of life. The coin's design is particularly notable because it was created during a time when Czechoslovakia was still under communist rule, and the government tightly controlled the arts and cultural expression. Despite these restrictions, Botto was able to create a beautiful and meaningful design that has become a beloved symbol of Slovak culture.
