Different material trial strike.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Koruna (Trial Strike) 1951 (1957) from Czechoslovakia is that it was minted in a unique iron-magnesium alloy, which gives it a distinctive metallic gray color. This is different from the standard coins of the time, which were typically made of copper or nickel. The use of this alloy was likely a trial or experimental measure, as the coin is designated as a "Trial Strike" in its name. This fact makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and numismatists who specialize in unusual or experimental coinage.
