    Czech Republic - 200 Korun
    1998 Silver BU Coin - Nice condition
    Bohemian composer from Kolin - Frantisek Kmoch
    There is an annual festival in Kolin celebrating their famous son.
    Kmoch composed the famous polka "Skoda lasky" (Forlorn / Wasted Love) which was translated by WWII American GIs to "Roll out the barrel" and became the Beer Barrel polka
    ... I suppose if you are going to change the title of one of the more famous Czech tunes, might as well go with a beer theme.  Them Czechs are fond of beer...and the American GIs were as well.
    Scarce coin
    Thank You!
