| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed in brown and grey-blue intaglio, the central vignette presents a panoramic High Tatra mountain lake scene with a forested shoreline, a small villa on the near bank, and dramatic peaks rising into a clouded sky, enclosed within a finely engraved rectangular frame with stylised foliate and scroll ornaments along the upper and lower borders. The numeral 500 appears in the upper and lower left corners, while a pale blue guilloche underprint fills the wide left margin, contrasting with the warm brown tone of the main vignette. |

This note was prepared in London during the war years for use after liberation — part of a series of exile-issue Czechoslovak currency printed by Bradbury Wilkinson in anticipation of the republic's restoration. The timing matters: by the time these notes reached Czechoslovakia in 1945, the political situation was already shifting sharply toward Soviet-aligned governance, and the currency's lifespan was constrained by the monetary reform of 1945, which itself was a prelude to the deeper overhaul of 1948.
Bradbury Wilkinson's security watermark was the primary anti-counterfeiting measure — relatively modest by the firm's own standards, reflecting wartime production constraints rather than any deficiency in the printer's capabilities.
