Interesting fact
The 5 Korun coin from Czechoslovakia, minted between 1937 and 1938, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or national emblem, it depicts a stylized image of a farmer and a worker, symbolizing the country's agricultural and industrial sectors. This design was meant to promote the idea of unity and cooperation among the Czechoslovakian people during a time of economic and political turmoil.
