The Czech National Bank has issued a commemorative silver coin with a face value of 100 Czech crowns as part of its Institutions of the Czech Republic series. This time, the issue pays tribute to the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic, one of the country's most important judicial institutions, based in Brno.Supreme Court of the Czech Republic
The Supreme Court of the Czech Republic (Czech: Nejvyšší soud České republiky) is the highest judicial authority in civil and criminal matters in the country. Established on 1 January 1993, it is located at 20 Burešova Street, Brno. It is important to note that, according to the Czech Constitution, constitutional review is the responsibility of the Constitutional Court, while matters of public law are the responsibility of the Supreme Administrative Court. These three institutions form the apex of the judiciary in the Czech Republic.
The tradition of a supreme court in the region dates back to 1918, with the establishment of the Supreme Court of Czechoslovakia in Prague, which moved to Brno the following year. This court not only acted as a court of cassation in civil and criminal matters, but could also propose laws or legislative amendments. Its structure was modeled on the Supreme Court of Cassation and Justice of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Following several changes during the 20th century, including the federalization of Czechoslovakia in 1968 and the subsequent dissolution of the federation, on 1 January 1993, its powers were transferred to the current Supreme Court of the Czech Republic.
The Supreme Court is organized into two main divisions: the Criminal Division (trestní kolegium), composed of judges specializing in substantive and procedural criminal law, and the Civil and Commercial Division (občanskoprávní a obchodní kolegium), responsible for ensuring uniformity and legality in the decisions of lower courts in civil and commercial proceedings.
The Supreme Court also acts primarily as a court of cassation, reviewing decisions of lower courts to ensure the uniform application of the law in civil and criminal matters. However, it does not have jurisdiction over constitutional matters, which are the responsibility of the Constitutional Court, nor over public law cases, which are heard by the Supreme Administrative Court.
The obverse of the coin, along with the name of the issuing country "ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA" (CZECH REPUBLIC), shows in the upper half a framed composition of the various stylized heraldic animals from the national coat of arms of the Czech Republic. The lower half of the composition, however, presents a fragment of the façade with the entrance portal of the Supreme Court in Brno, accompanied by the inscriptions indicating the coin's face value "100 Kč", the year of issue "2025", and the Czech Mint's mark, consisting of the letters "Č" and "M".
The center of the reverse features a representation of the allegorical figure of Lady Justice holding an open book, flanked on either side by scales. Surrounding the central image are the inscriptions: "NEJVYŠŠÍ SOUD" (SUPREE COURT) on the top edge, and on the bottom edge is the coin designer's mark, Zbyněk Fojtů, composed of the letters "F" and "Z."
