STOTIN
Engraver: Otakar Španiel
Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Stotin 1920 from Czechoslovakia, made of Tin brass and weighing 4.22g, is a rare and unique coin that was never put into circulation. It was designed by the Czech artist and sculptor, Otakar Španiel, and features a portrait of Tomáš Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia, on one side, and the Czech coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1920 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
