“Don’t you have a little one?” Asks a friend. “I just need twenty,” he adds. Small we refer to metal coins. We normally leave them as a thank you for the waiters’ service and there are people who do not use crumbs and all payments in cash to the nearest hundred crown. They simply do not want to wear a load in their pockets. But beware, she’s not twenty like twenty!
A unique twenty -crown was circulated, the value of which rose to more than an incredible 100 thousand crowns.

How is it possible?
The collectors’ viewfinders are getting a coin of erronement, thus gaining a hallmark of rarity, because it simply differs from those coins that are fine. In addition, the control system of the Czech Mint from Jablonec nad Nisou, which has been the exclusive supplier of all coins to the Czech National Bank since 1996, is very consistent. Therefore, when any coin gets into circulation incorrectly, hunts are held.
This twenty -crown does not have two sides
The story of our twenty -crowns began to be written last year at the Prague Auction House Kendro Numismatics and is absolutely unique in that it is missing the year. It is not possible to estimate when it was stamped, and it can be old for decades. At first glance, it looks like a common “twenty”, but besides the missing era, St. Václav, instead of decorating the Czech lion.
Happiness and coincidence
It is also interesting that the man who decided to foam this twenty crowns in the auction house came to it quite randomly. She was just in circulation and one day he discovered her in his wallet. Maybe people tried to get rid of it, if they had noticed a wrong stamping at all, and sent it on and on.
But this man was sharpened and became interested in a special coin. He had her quality checked and found that she was of great value. The announcement price amounted to five thousand euros, at that time it was an amount of 126 thousand crowns.
Look at your cash
Experts point out that such twenty crowns could have occurred, and despite consistent control procedures, more. In addition, it is not a matter of viewing the coins from time to time and if you find a mistake, remember that you can hold even a hundred thousand crowns instead of just ten crowns. It is not difficult to register for auction with its catch, basically it is enough to identify the identity and signature on the GDPR registration form.
