| Additional information |
Jánošík was hanged in 1713 at Liptovský Mikuláš — by a hook through his ribs, according to the execution record — after a career as an outlaw in the Tatra highlands that lasted barely two years. The Czechoslovak state found him politically convenient: a peasant rebel against Habsburg and noble authority, easily reframed as proto-socialist resistance. This coin was issued in the final years of normalization-era Czechoslovakia, less than eighteen months before the Velvet Revolution dismantled the government that authorized it.
