This note was printed by Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig under German occupation-era contract arrangements, then overprinted for use by the newly reconstituted Slovenská Národná Banka as the war's end reshaped central European monetary authority. The overprint stamp is the operative detail — it converted existing printed stock into legitimate Slovak currency without requiring an entirely new production run, a practical solution under chaotic postwar logistics.
Štefan Bednár's design work for Slovak wartime issues gives this series a distinct local character unusual for notes produced abroad.
