Comment
Sokol was unrealized proposal for newly created Czechoslovak currency. These trials were made for coin competition jury.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Sokolů (T. G. Masaryk) ND (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 prominent Czech sculptor and medallist, and it features a portrait of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia, surrounded by an intricate pattern of falcons (sokolů in Czech). Despite its non-circulating status, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and unique design.
