Comment
While this coin bears date 1948, it was actually minted after 1953 as new (cheaper) material trial.Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Koruny (Trial Strike) 1948 from Czechoslovakia, made of Copper-aluminium-nickel and weighing 4.30g, is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a trial strike to test the minting process and only a small number of coins were produced, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
