Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Korun (Pattern) 1966 from Czechoslovakia is that it features a unique design that was never used on any other coin. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of a linden tree, while the reverse side features a geometric pattern of circles and lines. This design was created by the Czech artist and designer, Karel Svolinský, and it was intended to symbolize the unity and strength of the Czechoslovakian people. Despite its unique design, the coin was never put into circulation and remains a rare and valuable collector's item.
