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. This one has same diameter as Aluminium coin that later got into circulation and it is thus probable that it was struck before its introduction.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Haléřů (Trial Strike) 1921 (1950-1951) from Czechoslovakia made of Brass weighing 1.44g is that it was minted in a very small quantity, with only 500 pieces produced, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
