1 Koruna Trial Strike

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.
