Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Koruna (Trial Strike) 1922 from Czechoslovakia made of Aluminium weighing 2.39 g is a rare and unique coin, with only a few known examples in existence. It was created as a trial strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a test piece for the mint. The coin's design features a portrait of Tomáš Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia, on the obverse, and the Czechoslovakian coat of arms on the reverse. The use of aluminum as the material for the coin was also unusual, as most coins of the time were made of more traditional metals like silver or gold. This coin's rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
