Additional information

Slovakia's wartime government struck iron pattern coinage in 1944 as the Reich's demands on raw materials made traditional alloys increasingly unavailable. This 50 Halierov piece in iron never reached circulation — the Slovak National Uprising in August 1944 and the subsequent German military occupation effectively collapsed the administrative machinery needed to authorize and distribute new coinage before the war's end the following spring.
