Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Ducat (Trial Strike) 1935 from Czechoslovakia, made of Copper-nickel and weighing 2.83g, is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a trial strike to test the design and production process, and only a limited number of coins were produced. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction.
