This note was issued in the first months of the clerical-fascist Slovak state declared on 14 March 1939 — a state that existed only because Hitler pressured Jozef Tiso to declare independence the day before German troops occupied the remainder of Czechoslovakia. The new republic needed its own currency immediately, and the earliest Slovak issues were essentially repurposed Czechoslovak printing stock adapted under considerable time pressure.
Pick 4 is among the founding emission of the Slovenská Republika's paper currency. Genuine examples from 1939 circulated heavily through the war years and survivors in clean condition are considerably less common than their nominal scarcity figures suggest.
