The circular legend SLOVENSKÁ REPUBLIKA arcs around the upper periphery, flanked by a continuous beaded border. The date 1941, separated by two small dot stops, appears along the lower rim beneath the shield. |

| Additional information |
Slovakia's wartime puppet government under Jozef Tiso was still assembling the machinery of an independent monetary system in 1941, and trial strikes like this one document the experimental phase of that process — dies tested, alloys evaluated, production parameters set before any coin reached circulation. Aluminium was the practical choice under wartime metal rationing, with copper and nickel increasingly diverted to the German war economy.
No examples of this trial are known to have escaped official channels into general circulation.
