| Opmerkingen |
The 1953 Czechoslovak currency reform was one of the most punitive monetary resets in postwar European history. Citizens were required to exchange old koruna for new at a rate of 50:1 for amounts above a minimal household allowance — effectively wiping out private savings accumulated under the previous system. This note entered circulation as part of that reform, issued by a banking apparatus that had been restructured entirely along Soviet lines following the 1948 communist takeover.
Státní tiskárna cenin, the state security printer in Prague, handled the entire series domestically — unusual given that Czechoslovakia had previously relied on foreign printers for prestige issues.
