This note entered circulation on 8 February 1993, less than six weeks after the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia on 1 January — making it one of the first distinctly Czech banknotes ever issued. The timeline was tight enough that Czech and Slovak notes from the transitional period were initially distinguished only by adhesive stamps applied to existing Czechoslovak stock, before proper national series could be released.
Kulhánek designed and Fajt engraved the entire initial Czech series, a rare domestic pairing at a moment when many newly independent states were contracting foreign security printers.
