Very cool! My grandmother immigrated from Krk, Yugoslavia so I'm partial to coins from that region. Are you interested in that country for sentimental reasons?
Here's one of mine: (1977) 100 Korun, Death of Vaclav Hollar, KM-88, top pop @ PR66DCAM

No sentimental reasons. Just liked the design and wanted to add a Czech coin to my crown collection. It is a pretty low mintage coin (75,000) and 22,000 or so were melted my the national bank in 1999. Plus I picked it up for just over $30

Czech coins are tough. I think the two world wars and the soviet occupation took its toll on specie.
My great grand parents came from there. I looked for them for awhile, but not many of the good dates around.
The US dealers sell mainly the gold dukats. The czech dealers I have found
don't have any of the scarce dates either.
There are a number of real good dates / rare dates ,but I have never seen but a few for sale.
Czechoslovakia has quite a history of turmoil trying to keep their democracy with everyone wanting to occupy them
and impose their own rule.

Cool design! the obverse has a look to it that really fits my imagination of things from that time and space
