| Additional information |
The Czech Republic never adopted the euro. These specimen pieces were produced as part of the official "euro starter kit" trial sets issued ahead of an anticipated accession, allowing Czech institutions and the public to familiarize themselves with euro coinage before a changeover that, as of this writing, has still not occurred. Czech law technically obligates the country to adopt the euro upon meeting convergence criteria, but successive governments have postponed setting a target date indefinitely.
