Slovakia's first independent currency required banknotes fast. When the Czechoslovak federation dissolved on 1 January 1993, both successor states initially circulated the old Czechoslovak koruna with adhesive stamps applied to distinguish Slovak from Czech notes — a stopgap that lasted only weeks before proper Slovak issues arrived. This 100 Korún was part of that first definitive series, ordered from the Polish Security Printing Works in Warsaw because Slovak printing capacity was insufficient for the immediate demand.
The engraving is by Václav Fajt, a Czech craftsman working on a Slovak national issue — an unremarkable irony given the circumstances of the split. The note was superseded when Slovakia adopted the euro in January 2009.
