Interesting fact

The Pattern 20 Halierov coin was designed by Slovak artist and sculptor, Anton Hám, and features a unique pattern of circles and lines on its obverse side. The reverse side of the coin features the coat of arms of Slovakia. The coin was minted in 1940, during the time of the First Slovak Republic, which was a puppet state of Nazi Germany. Despite its historical significance, the coin is not widely recognized or circulated, making it a rare and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
