1 Ducat Trial Strike

Trial strikes from the Czechoslovak State Mint in the interwar period were produced primarily for internal review and submission to the Ministry of Finance, rarely leaving official hands. This copper-nickel example almost certainly represents a composition test — the ducat denomination was traditionally struck in gold, and a base-metal trial of this type would have served to evaluate die quality and relief detail before committing to precious-metal production runs.

The Pn10 designation confirms its status as a pattern rather than a circulating or approved issue. Very few examples are documented.
