Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Korun (Technical College; Trial Strike) 1957 from Czechoslovakia made of Brass weighing 9.23g is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted as a circulating coin. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of a young woman, representing the "Spirit of Technical Education," surrounded by symbols of science and technology, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a technical college building. This coin was minted as a trial strike and only a limited number of pieces were produced, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
