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.According to Jozef Petrovič - Niektoré menej známe pokusné razby československých mincí this coin was produced in 1953 as material and weight trial for 5 heller.

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Haléřů (Trial Strike) 1922 (1945) from Czechoslovakia made of Aluminium weighing 1.01 g is that it was minted during the World War II era, specifically in 1945, but it bears the date 1922. This is likely due to the fact that the Czechoslovakian government in exile, which was based in London during the war, wanted to create a new currency that would be ready for use once the war was over and the country was liberated from German occupation. The coin's design, which features a stylized portrait of a woman on the obverse and a stylized image of a tree on the reverse, was created by the Czech artist and designer, Otakar Španiel. Despite being minted in 1945, the coin was never officially released into circulation and remains a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
