| Reverse description | A kneeling female figure is depicted in the central field, rendered in a classical allegorical style by sculptor Otakar Španiel. She holds a sheaf of wheat in one arm and a sickle in the other hand, symbolizing agricultural labor. The denomination numeral 1 appears to the left of the figure, with a linden sprig — the national symbol of Czechoslovakia — positioned below. The engraver's signature O. ŠPANIEL is inscribed along the lower rim of the design. |

Trial strikes of the Czechoslovak koruna coinage were produced in the early years after the republic's founding in 1918, as the new state worked to establish a monetary identity entirely separate from the Austro-Hungarian system it had inherited. Gold trials of denominations not intended for gold circulation were a standard part of the die-testing and archival process at the Kremnica Mint, and most were retained institutionally rather than released — which explains why survivors tend to appear through estate and museum deaccession channels rather than ordinary market sources.
