Note
Pattern strike from a collection of 10 pieces submitted by the mint to the Ministry of Finance on 19 November 1946. These pattern strikes were struck according to J. Wagner's contest models. The Ministry of Finance sent these pattern strikes to the author J. Wagner, the Ministry of the Interior for approval of the design of the state emblem, the members of the jury and other stakeholders for their comments. As a result, the height of the relief of the lion was changed and the reverse was adjusted so that the raised areas of the reverse and obverse did not lie against each other. This could have made the coin more difficult to produce. The final mintage started on 11 February 1947 together with the 50 Heller coins.
