Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Korún (Trial Strike) 1939 from Slovakia, made of Aluminium weighing 2.01g, 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 is considered a valuable addition to any numismatic collection.
