Banknotes of Czech Republic

The official currency of the Czech Republic is the Czech koruna, issued by the Czech National Bank since 1993. Paper money was first introduced in the country following the split of Czechoslovakia. A remarkable event in the currency's history was the introduction of a new series in 2000, which featured advanced security features and contemporary designs. Collectors are drawn to the Czech koruna for its vibrant design and innovative use of color. The 1000 koruna note, which honors the poet and writer Franz Kafka, showcases intricate details including a holographic stripe and a watermark that features Kafka's portrait, reflecting Czech contributions to literature during the early 20th century.
