| Opschrift voorzijde | REPUBLIKA ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ 1920 (Translation: Czechoslovak Republic) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large sugar beet rendered naturalistically in high relief at the centre of the field, depicted with its taproot and spreading foliage, occupying nearly the full diameter of the coin. The denomination numeral 50 appears in large figures to the lower left of the beet, and the date 1920 is placed to the lower right. The design reflects the agricultural symbolism intended for the projected Sokol currency series, with no additional legend or inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Czechoslovakia's first coinage as an independent state came with remarkable speed — the republic had only been proclaimed in October 1918, and by 1920 the new government was already issuing a complete series of denominations to replace the Austro-Hungarian currency still circulating in Czech and Slovak pockets. Ladislav Šaloun, better known as the sculptor behind Prague's Jan Hus monument, contributed to the early design work for the series.
The nickel-brass alloy was a deliberate economic choice, reflecting the chronic copper and nickel shortages that plagued Central European mints in the immediate postwar years.
