According to a preserved correspondence from the archive of Ministry of Finance from year 1937 these are silver struck pieces meant to represent the Czechoslovakian mint industry on a Paris exhibition. 'Furthermore there are two pieces of test strikes of 1, 2, 5, 10 Ducats each, minted from silver and marked with mark 'ZKOUŠKA' ('TEST'). Strikes of 10 Ducats were atttached to the desk with glue and two hooks, that is the reason why each coin reverse is slightly damaged
