| Opmerkingen |
The Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia was a German-administered entity carved from the rump of Czechoslovakia after the March 1939 occupation, and its banknotes were deliberately designed to signal administrative continuity rather than rupture — the Czech-language text remained, but the issuing authority now answered to Berlin. This 5 Korun belongs to the first issue of Protectorate currency, introduced in 1940 to replace National Bank of Czechoslovakia notes still circulating from before the occupation.
The Koruna was pegged to the Reichsmark at a rate widely regarded as punitive — 10 Korun to 1 Reichsmark — effectively transferring wealth out of the Protectorate from the moment of issue.
