Interesting fact

The Pattern 50 Haléřů coin was designed by Czech artist and sculptor, Otakar Španiel, and features a unique pattern of a stylized floral motif on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the denomination and year of issue. This particular coin is a trial strike, meaning it was struck multiple times to test the die and ensure that the design was properly transferred to the coin. As a result, the coin has a unique, hand-crafted look and feel that sets it apart from other coins. Additionally, the brass composition gives the coin a warm, golden color that adds to its aesthetic appeal. Overall, this coin is a beautiful and unique piece of numismatic history that would make a great addition to any collection.
