| Additional information |
The Czech Republic has never issued euro coinage. As a European Union member since 2004, the country retained the koruna and has repeatedly delayed eurozone accession — no target date has been formally adopted as of this writing. This piece is a fantasy or pattern strike, not an official issue of the Czech National Bank.
