Front: Saint Agnes of Bohemia (1211–1282), Czech princess of the Přemyslid dynasty, founder of the Hospital of Saint Francis and the first Poor Clare convent in Prague, canonized in 1989. Daughter of King Ottokar I of Bohemia, she rejected multiple royal marriage proposals to pursue religious life and charitable work. She appears with the Flaming Heart emblem and ornamental Gothic patterns. The Sacred Heart with flames symbolizes her devotion and spiritual life.

Back: The Saint Wenceslas Crown (Svatováclavská koruna), the Bohemian coronation crown created for Charles IV in 1347, one of the oldest preserved European royal crowns and part of the Czech Crown Jewels. The crown sits atop a large decorative letter 'A' for Agnes (Anežka in Czech), flanked by the coat of arms of the Czech Republic showing the quartered shield with the Bohemian lion, Moravian eagle, and Silesian eagle.

The story

Background & history

First series of the independent Czech koruna issued after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia on January 1, 1993. The Czech Republic retained the koruna currency name but issued entirely new designs. This 50 korun note was part of the inaugural series featuring historical and religious figures from Czech history. Saint Agnes was chosen to honor her canonization in 1989, shortly before the Velvet Revolution. The series was gradually replaced by polymer notes and this denomination was withdrawn from circulation effective December 31, 2011.
