Comments

Different mintmarks (crowned "b" or "CM" monogram = Bizuterie Jablonec Czech Mint, Maple Leaf = Royal Canadian Mint).

Two main groups of coinage are known:

Obverse
Die 1 - thick script, left legs of letters A thinner than the right ones.
Die 2 - thin script, both legs of letters A of the same thickness.

Reverse
Die A - pointed numeral "5", bridge narrow, thick script.
Die B - pointed numeral "5", bridge wide, thin script.
Die C - blunt numeral "5", bridge wide, thin script.

Combinations
1+A: 1993-1997.
2+B: 1998-2019.
2+C: 2017 See main photo of this article.

Notes.
1. Two varieties of Obverse are known in 1995. They differ by mintmark and style of date:

Both varieties have the same Reverse die A.

2. 2007 Issue is claimed by Czech National Bank (ČNB) as a purely set issue, however, these coins are found in general circulation, but they are difficult to find.
