Slovakia's wartime puppet government, installed after the Nazi-backed dissolution of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, required an entirely new coinage infrastructure essentially from scratch. This trial strike in nickel-plated iron reflects the material substitutions forced on the regime as wartime metal allocation left traditional alloys increasingly unavailable for domestic coinage. The transition away from nickel-rich compositions was not merely economic — German authorities directly influenced which metals subject states could retain for civilian coin production.
