The 1 koruna coin was minted in the German protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia between 1941 and 1944 during World War II.[1] The provinces of Bohemia and Moravia are currently part of the Czech Republic.[2] Germany occupied the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia in 1938 under the terms of the Munich Agreement and in March 1939 invaded the remainder of Czechoslovakia and established the protectorate.[3] Made entirely of zinc, the 1 koruna is an emergency issue type, similar to the coins of other German occupied territories.[4] Following the war, the provinces of Bohemia and Moravia were reincorporated into Czechoslovakia.[5]
