Add a coin or not?

Hello,

Below are photos of some very rare trial strikes for Czechoslovakia. However, as a state did not have a currency in its first years (currency of Austria-Hungary circulated), there was a trial strike of new currency (Sokol). My question is whether to list it, because they were basically private issues. There were several lobying groups that made drawing and some got to the mint, like these ones.


There is one more (it was a whole set): http://stribrnak.cz/tag/50-stotinek/

I can see no reason why they should not be added to the catalogue.
We already have many Patterns, Trial Strikes and non-circulating issues.

But this one was just private pattern for competition. That is why I am unsure.

I would put them under Exonunia as a fantasy issue. They sound like they have a similar story to these https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces78083.html

If it was produced by the government mint or a private mint under contract to the government, then it could go in with the regular coinage as a pattern/essai. However, since it was produced by a private mint, it should go in as a token.

They have been minted in Vienna. Probably as a private contract. I will try to double check, if government did not requested that.

How beautiful! I hope for them to be included. Inclusion of govt patterns are definately fine in my book.

Wow Amazing , I liked this coin, looking like a specimen.

These deserve a better fate than being tossed into the Exonumia sink hole with the car wash tokens.

I think it's one of those cases where a common sense exception to the rules ought to be applied.

I agree with pnightingale.

And your calls were heard.
