1998 Czech 20 Korun

Do you have a Czech Republic coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment

By using electronic banking I realize that it is not easy to get change and even less chances to find "funny" money. Until I can figure out more convenient ways to live on cash I will still be in the vaults.

This is a Czech Republic coin not to be confused with a Czechoslovakia or a Republic of Slovakia coin. It is sad to see break ups but that means twice as many coins for the kids.

ČESKA REPUBLIKA 1998 (Czech Republic 1998)
There is no doubling on the coin the lettering is made with an outline font. A sharp version of this coin must look great. It would be golden and highly detailed with the outline font looking like a neon sign. There is a proof version and I can only imagine how it pops out.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 20 Korun / Czech Republic
Year: 1998
Mintage: 15,725,000 (Officially 41,786 were destroyed)
Metal: Brass Plated Steel
Value: $0.75 in Very-Fine

Do you have coin from the Czech Republic and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

I've got a couple of these and noticed the apparent "doubling" in the letters also.

Yes, at first I thought it was true doubling but then when I other coins I realized it is just part of the design.

I have a coin that had the words
"GEORGIVS V DEI GRA:BRITT:OMN:REX FID:DEF:IND:IMP:" on one side and "One Penny" on the other. The date is 1935. I got this from my dad's collection. What is is worth???

I also have a bicentennial 1976 coin. It has a picture of two drummers and a flute player in a circle on one side, and an American Eagle on the other. I can't find anything about it online!!!
