1 Koruna Trial Strike

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.
