<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1777615, member: 39&quot;]Not sure who the model was, but the reverse design - with the woman planting a small linden tree - was in use for many years. It&#039;s just that the country name and CoA varied ...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This type of 1 koruna coin was first issued between 1957 and 1960, and looked <a href="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/img3/51-46.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/img3/51-46.jpg" rel="nofollow">like this</a>.

In Germany for example it was a little oak tree. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
