Minted somewhere after second world war, likely trial strikes for new currency with old dies.
Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Koruna (Trial Strike) ND from Czechoslovakia made of Gold weighing 23.19g is a rare and unique coin, with only a few known examples in existence. It was minted in the early 20th century as a trial strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation and was instead used to test the dies and striking process. The coin's design features a portrait of a woman representing the Czech Republic on one side and a stylized coat of arms on the other. Due to its rarity and historical significance, this coin is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch high prices at auction.
