The story

Background & history

Part of the first series issued by the Czech National Bank following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia on 1 January 1993. The 1993–1999 series depicted historical Bohemian rulers and symbols of Czech statehood. This 20 korun note was designed by Oldřich Kulhánek and entered circulation in 1994. It was withdrawn from circulation in 2008 as part of the modernization of Czech banknotes, though it remained legal tender until then. The note features traditional Czech ornamental patterns and historical motifs emphasizing continuity with medieval Bohemian sovereignty.
