1948 CZECHOSLOVAKIA Silver "PRAGUE UPRISING" 50 Korun >ONE HALF YEAR Only TYPE
Description
This is a beautiful, lustrous, silver
"Commemorative"
50 Korun from Czechoslovakia. A single year only type, and one of two completely different design, but same 50 Korun denomination, issues, it was struck in 1948 to mark the 3rd anniversary of the
"Prague Uprising".
The Prague uprising of 1945 was a partially successful attempt by the Czech Resistance to liberate the city of Prague from German occupation. The approach of the Soviet Red Army and the US Third Army offered a chance of success.
On May 5, 1945, Czech citizens attacked the Germans. German troops counter-attacked, but on May 8, a ceasefire was signed allowing the German forces to withdraw from the city, but not all units obeyed. Fighting continued until May 9, when the Red Army entered the nearly liberated city. And put a stop to the liberation of Czechoslovakia.
Weight: 10.00 Gram, 28 Millimeter, .500 Silver. Mintage: 1,000,000.
