ZOO Zlín is one of the few Czech zoos to issue its own scrip-style paper notes, a practice more common among transport authorities and municipal utilities than wildlife institutions. Státní tiskárna cenin — the Czech state security printer responsible for official banknotes and stamps — produced this piece, which gives it a level of technical execution well above typical souvenir issues. The involvement of three named designers is unusual and suggests a deliberately commissioned artwork rather than a repurposed template.
