World War II on Czechoslovak commemorative coins (I)
This is the first commemorative silver coin minted in Czechoslovakia after the end of World War II. Not a pretty one.
50 Czechoslovak crowns ( 50 Kčs), Third anniversary of the Slovak National Uprising 1944, diameter 28 mm, weight 10 g of silver, purity 500/1000. One million pieces were minted.
Another commemorative coin was minted the following year. I don't like it much either.
50 Czechoslovak crowns (50 Kčs), Third anniversary of the Prague Uprising 1945,
diameter 28 mm, weight 10 g of silver, purity 500/1000. One million pieces were minted.
At that time, my country had a population of 13 million. A million pieces of coin. Is that a lot or a little? Actually, I don't know. Can someone write me what quantities of commemorative coins are usually minted in your countries?
One more thing I'd like to know. Have you minted and do you mint coins in your countries commemorating any events from the World War?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

I meant smaller and more "exotic" countries. But thanks for the response.
Commemoratives are almost always very limited in number. That's a pretty high number for a smaller country!
We are currently minting smaller numbers of commemorative coins. The mints from the 1950s were exceptional. Thank you for your response and support.

That's a nice-looking coin. I'm surprised how high the mintage is for it being considered "commemorative."
Here in the US, we created the Peace Dollar to celebrate the end of World War 1, but I'm not sure about World War 2. I have some research to do!
Thank you for your response. We literally had a cult of World War II. My next post will also be about coins commemorating this period.
No problem. I look forward to your next post. 🙂
The Royal Canadian Mint often produces far more coins that it's collector's population. And it is far less than the 39 million total citizens. My local coin club of hard core numismatists number 40-ish. And I find I could pick up cheap silver coins from auction.
A favorite of Canada at War theme is Remembrance Day coins, far more than listed here.
Thank you for your response. English-speaking countries seem to issue more collector and investment coins than others. But that's just my hypothesis.
Seesh looks like many nations dropped down to 50% silver fairly early relative to the others
I am surprised that commemorative coins were minted at all two to three years after the war. The food and clothing rationing system was abolished only in 1953. And even then, goods were scarce.
Yay! 🤗
