An absolute powerhouse of World War II history under the camera! This is a 1944 10 Korún silver piece struck during the short-lived, wartime Slovak Republic. Minted the exact year of the historic 1944 Slovak National Uprising—where local resistance fighters launched a massive armed revolt against the occupation forces—this coin is a pure relic of a fractured Europe. * Year: 1944 * Country: Slovakia (Wartime Republic) * Denomination: 10 Korún (10 Ks) * Composition: 50% Silver (.1125 oz Actual Silver Weight) * Obverse: The Slovak double-cross crest radiating inside a bold sun-ray circle. * Reverse: Prince Pribina (the first Slavic ruler to build a Christian church) holding a miniature model church with two figures. * Condition: Choice VF/XF. Incredible preservation on the reverse figures and text, completely uncleaned. * Eye Appeal: Boasts a killer, natural gray circulated patina that gives it incredible historical gravity on screen.
