| Reverse description | The denomination numeral 1 appears boldly in the upper central field, with the currency abbreviation Ks directly below it, together forming the face value. Flanking the denomination on both sides are symmetrical sprays of wheat ears, their stalks meeting at the base centre in an ornamental arrangement, the design attributed to engraver Gejza Angyal. The composition is contained within a plain border, with the wheat motif occupying the majority of the reverse field. The relief is crisp and well-defined, consistent with a minted trial piece. |

| Additional information |
The Slovak Republic of 1939–1945 was a Nazi client state, and its mint operations in the final months of the war were increasingly disrupted by the Slovak National Uprising of August 1944 and the subsequent German military occupation. Trial strikes from 1945 represent production that almost certainly never reached any meaningful circulation decision — the political entity that would have authorized this coinage ceased to exist in April 1945 when Soviet and Czech forces completed their advance through the country.
Aluminium was the wartime default across Axis-aligned states by this point, copper and nickel long redirected to armaments.
