| Comments |
This is not a circulating banknote of the Czech Republic. "Zapadlík Delage" is a fictional character from Czech author Ondřej Neff's science fiction universe, and this 200 Korún piece is a novelty or fantasy note — almost certainly produced as a collector item or promotional artifact rather than anything approaching legal tender. DAS Security Printing, based in Prague, does produce genuine security documents and banknotes for various issuers, which lends the physical item a degree of technical credibility it has no legal claim to.
Matej Gabris is a Slovak designer with legitimate banknote design credits, including work connected to commemorative Czech currency projects.
