| Comments |
Czechoslovakia's early republic turned to the American Bank Note Company for several of its higher denominations — a practical choice given ABNCo's established relationships with newly sovereign European states in the aftermath of 1918. The 1923 500 Korun specimen (P#18S) belongs to that commissioning period, when Prague was still building institutional confidence in its currency after the 1919 separation from Austro-Hungarian monetary union.
Specimen examples were retained for archival and reference purposes rather than released into circulation. The "S" suffix designation confirms this status.
