While struck without denomination, this issue shares a close relationship with coins. Issued in a set, it was distributed with the silver 25 Korun, and the two share identical obverse designs. As such, it might be appropriate to consider this issue a type of pseudo-coin, as no gold coins were struck by Czechoslovakia during this period.
Estimate: $2500.00- $5000.00
