| Reverse description | A large sugar beet plant with spreading leaves fills the central field, depicted in bold naturalistic relief with prominent root structure and foliage rendered in a stylized manner. The denomination numeral 50 appears in large raised figures to the lower left of the central device, while the date 1920 is placed symmetrically to the lower right. The design reflects the agricultural and economic aspirations of the nascent Czechoslovak state. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional legend or ornamentation. |

| Additional information |
Czechoslovakia's first coinage was authorized almost immediately after the state's declaration in October 1918, but production was delayed by the practical chaos of standing up a new national mint and currency system from scratch. These early brass pieces were struck at the Kremnica Mint in Slovakia, which became the republic's primary facility precisely because it had operated under Hungarian administration and was now absorbed into the new state — a politically useful inheritance.
The 1920 date places this coin in the first wave of issues establishing the koruna system, which replaced the Austro-Hungarian krone at par before the new government began withdrawing and overprinting old imperial notes.
