Comment
As pre-war coinage circulated in after war years, new trials were struck in search for new coinage measurements. As old dies were used, those trials appear with frozen dates.Interesting fact
This coin was designed by Czech artist and sculptor, Otakar Španiel, who was also responsible for designing several other coins and banknotes for Czechoslovakia during the 1930s. The coin features a unique design that showcases a stylized portrait of a young woman, representing the Czech people, surrounded by wheat and other agricultural symbols. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's rich agricultural heritage and its commitment to hard work and prosperity.
