About Czechoslovakia banknotes

Czechoslovakia's first notes were designed by Alfons Mucha. During the Second World War the Czech lands became the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, with notes in German and Czech, while Slovakia issued its own. After 1945 the Czechoslovak koruna was restored, and a currency reform followed in 1953. When the country split in 1993, Czechoslovak notes were briefly stamped for use in the new Czech and Slovak republics.
