Note
This is a piece from the zero series from the period of October 5 and 6, 1938 whose purpose was to test the final instruments. The test striking took place on 20 August 1938, but these strikes differ in the amount of linden leaves on the linden behind the female figure. This is a very rare specimen, which proves that in 1938, the state wanted to issue a 20-Koruna coin to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Republic. Unfortunately, due to the consequences of the Munich Agreement, the coin was never issued.
