Slovakia's wartime puppet government under Jozef Tiso was perpetually short of metal by 1944, with nickel and aluminum increasingly diverted to German war production. This trial strike in brass — an alloy not adopted for the circulating issue — represents one of several composition tests conducted as the Bratislava mint searched for a workable substitute. The 90/10 copper-zinc formula was ultimately rejected, likely on cost or supply grounds, before Soviet forces crossed into Slovak territory that autumn and rendered the question moot.
