STOTIN

Comment
Sokol was unrealized proposal for newly created Czechoslovak currency. These trials were made for coin competition jury.Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Stotin 1920 from Czechoslovakia, made of Copper weighing 5.21g, 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 a depiction of the Czechoslovakian 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 trial or sample coin. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
