| Comments |
Vilém Pospíšil served as the first governor of the Czech National Bank following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in January 1993, making him the natural choice for a commemorative issue tied to the institution's founding generation. Whether this 2026 note marks a specific anniversary or fits within a broader redesign series has not yet been confirmed in published CNB documentation at time of cataloging.
Státní Tiskárna Cenin has produced Czech banknotes continuously since the republic's establishment, one of the few European security printers that prints exclusively for its own sovereign issuer.
