| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a finely engraved intaglio vignette of Vyšehrad Castle at left, rendered in deep blue with the rocky promontory rising above the Vltava river. The denomination '1000' appears in large numerals at lower centre and at upper left, with 'VYŠEHRAD' inscribed beneath the landscape vignette. At right, an elaborate guilloche rosette incorporating layered denomination numerals provides an ornamental counterfoil to the scenic composition. |

| Comments |
When Czechoslovakia dissolved on 1 January 1993, both successor states faced an immediate currency problem — the old federal koruna circulated freely across both new borders, and capital was moving fast. Slovakia's solution was adhesive stamps applied to existing Czechoslovak notes, converting them into provisional Slovak legal tender while permanent issues were prepared. This 1000 Korún is one of those stamped transitionals, not a freshly designed note but a Czechoslovak printing — made at Státní Tiskárna Cenin in Prague — repurposed by its former partner state.
Brunovský designed the underlying note before the split. He died in 1997, making this series among his final major commissions.
