| Comments |
The Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia was a Nazi German puppet state established in March 1939 following the occupation of the Czech lands. Its banknotes were technically issued by the Národní banka pro Čechy a Moravu — the renamed successor to the Czechoslovak National Bank — but monetary policy was subordinated to Berlin from the outset. The Reichsmark circulated alongside the protectorate's koruna at a fixed rate designed to facilitate the extraction of Czech economic resources.
