| Obverse description | Facing the viewer, the Bohemian double-tailed lion rampant left occupies the central field, bearing upon its breast a shield charged with the Slovak cross. The legend REPUBLIKA ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ is arranged radially around the periphery in large, bold Latin lettering, interspersed with decorative elements. The date 1921 appears in the lower field, with a small ornamental mint mark below it. The design is executed in a vigorous, high-relief sculptural style characteristic of Španiel's work. |

| Reverse description | A statuesque female figure, representing the Czechoslovak Republic or allegory of harvest, is depicted nearly full-length, turned slightly to the left, harvesting a sheaf of wheat which she holds in her right arm. Her left arm reaches downward toward additional grain or flora at her feet. The legend REPUBLIKA ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ curves along the left and upper periphery of the coin, and the date 1920 is inscribed in the lower exergue. The composition is rendered in a refined Art Nouveau–influenced style with strong sculptural modelling, emblematic of Španiel's medallic artistry. |
