Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Koruna (Trial Strike) 1951 from Czechoslovakia, made of nickel-iron and weighing 1.3g, is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a trial strike to test the production process and minting equipment, and only a small number of coins were produced. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction.
