One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Stotin 1920 from Czechoslovakia made of Tin brass weighing 5.21g is that it was designed by the Czech artist and sculptor, Otakar Španiel. Španiel was a prominent figure in the Czech art scene in the early 20th century and his work can be found in various museums and galleries throughout the country. The coin's design features a stylized image of a Slovak woman, symbolizing the unity of the Czech and Slovak people. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number minted, making it a unique piece of Czechoslovakian history.
