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
The Pattern 20 Haléřů (Trial Strike) 1938 from Czechoslovakia made of Zinc weighing 2.58 g is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a trial strike to test the dies and minting process, and only a small number of coins were produced. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction.
