The circular legend REPUBLIKA ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1922 appears in the lower field flanked by small decorative stars. The design is executed in high relief with a smooth, unadorned field typical of trial strike production. |

| Additional information |
The Czechoslovak koruna coinage of the early 1920s emerged from a newly independent state still defining its monetary identity after the collapse of Austria-Hungary in 1918. Trial strikes from this period were produced as the mint worked through competing design submissions and metallurgical specifications before committing to production standards. The 1922 date places this piece squarely in that experimental window — the circulating 1 koruna that entered production carried a substantially different weight, meaning this trial was rejected at some point in the approval process.
