Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Koruna (Trial Strike) 1953 from Czechoslovakia is interesting because it was minted in a unique composition of metals, specifically Zn 79%, Ag 9%, W 6%, and Cu 5%. This blend of metals gives the coin a distinctive appearance and makes it stand out from other coins of its time. Additionally, its weight of 1.78g is relatively light for a coin of its size, which makes it an interesting collector's item.
