| Additional information |
Czechoslovakia issued pattern coinage throughout the 1960s as the state mint experimented with alloy and size combinations ahead of planned currency reforms. This 1966 piece was never adopted for circulation — the 5 koruna denomination ultimately retained different specifications, and most pattern strikes from this period went directly into institutional collections or were distributed through Czechoslovak numismatic agencies as a hard-currency revenue source, a practice the government exploited with particular efficiency during this decade.
