After the 1953 currency reform a new series of coins were introduced. Coins were first issued in denominations of 1, 3, 5, 10, 25 h – the 1, 3 and 5 Kčs denominations only existed as paper money (state notes). The haler coins dated 1953 were all minted in Leningrad. The 1, 3 and 5 Kčs state notes were replaced by coins in 1957, 1965 and 1966, respectively. The 50 h coin appeared in 1963. In 1972 the 25 h and 3 Kčs coins were withdrawn, and – from 1972 – 20 h (as part of the new series) and 2 Kčs coins were introduced instead. The 3 h coin was withdrawn in 1976. A redesigned series of haler coins was released into circulation during the 1970s.
Until 1960 the "REPUBLIKA ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ" inscription was used with the republic Coat of arms on the coins. The strikes from 1961 onwards bore the new socialist-style coat of arms along with the inscription: "ČESKOSLOVENSKÁ SOCIALISTICKÁ REPUBLIKA". 3 and 5 korun coins were introduced in 1965 and 1966, respectively, with 20h and 2 koruny coins added in 1972. 10 korun coins were introduced in 1990.
