Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Sokolů (T. G. Masaryk) 1920 coin from Czechoslovakia is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted as a circulating coin. The coin was designed by Otakar Španiel, a renowned Czech sculptor and medallist, and it showcases a portrait of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia, surrounded by an intricate pattern of five falcons (sokolů in Czech). The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's independence and the protection of its national values, but it was ultimately not chosen for circulation. Despite this, the Pattern 5 Sokolů coin remains a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and enthusiasts of Czechoslovakian history.
