Commenti

This 500 Korun note was issued in the immediate aftermath of Czechoslovakia's creation as an independent state — the new republic had declared independence in October 1918 and urgently needed its own currency to replace the Austro-Hungarian krone still circulating on its territory. The provisional solution, used through much of 1919, was to overstamp existing Austro-Hungarian notes; purpose-designed issues like this one were part of the effort to establish a distinct monetary identity as quickly as printing capacity allowed.

P#12 was printed by the American Bank Note Company. A known characteristic of early Czechoslovak issues from this period is paper quality variation between print runs, worth examining closely on any example.
