1 Koruna Trial Strike

Trial strikes for the Czechoslovak koruna coinage were produced in the early 1920s as the newly independent republic worked to establish its own monetary identity following the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918. Multiple compositions and weight standards were tested before final specifications were locked in — silver trials like this one were ultimately set aside in favor of cupro-nickel for the circulating issue, making silver examples survivors of a decision process rather than a production run.
