| Additional information |
Alois Rašín was the first Finance Minister of independent Czechoslovakia and the architect of the koruna's separation from the Austro-Hungarian crown in 1919 — a currency reform executed with deliberate speed to prevent capital flight and speculative devaluation. He was assassinated in January 1923 by a young anarchist, dying of his wounds six weeks later. This commemorative was issued a century after the monetary separation he engineered, the reform widely credited with stabilizing the nascent state's finances faster than any comparable post-WWI successor nation achieved.
