Add a fascinating piece of Cold War–era European currency to your collection with this Czechoslovakia 100 Korun banknote dated 1961 (1990 issue), Pick P-91c, in Very Fine (VF) condition.
Issued by the Czechoslovak State Bank, this banknote belongs to the long-running series used during the socialist period of Czechoslovakia (1960–1990). Although originally designed in 1961, later printings such as the 1990 variety (P-91c) continued circulating until the early 1990s.
These banknotes remained legal tender until 1993, shortly after the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, making them an interesting collectible from the final years of the country’s unified currency system.
Banknote Design
Obverse: The front of the banknote depicts a factory complex at the lower left and a farm couple at the right, symbolizing the socialist ideology of unity between industrial workers and agricultural laborers. The design reflects the economic themes promoted during the communist period.
The banknote was designed by František Heřman and engraved by artists including Jan Mráček and Jindřich Schmidt, well-known designers of Czechoslovak currency.
Reverse: The reverse features a detailed view of the Charles Bridge with Prague Castle and the historic Hradčany district in the background, one of the most famous landmarks in Prague.
This combination of historic architecture and socialist symbolism makes the banknote a fascinating representation of the country’s cultural and political identity.

CONDITION GUIDE
Gem Uncirculated
A note that is flawless, with the same freshness, crispness and bright color as when first printed. It
must be perfectly centered, with full margins, and free of any marks, blemishes or traces of handling.
About Uncirculated
A bright, crisp note that appears new but upon close examination shows a trace of very light use, such as a corner fold or faint crease. 'About Uncirculated' is a borderline condition, applied to a note which may not be quite uncirculated, but yet is obviously better than an average Extra Fine note. Such notes command a price only slightly below a new note and are highly desirable.
Extra Fine
A note that shows some faint evidence of circulation, although it will still be bright and retain nearly full crispness. It may have two or three minor folds or creases but no tears or stains and no discolorations.
Very Fine
A note that has been in circulation, but not actively or for long. It still retains some crispness and is still choice enough in its condition to be altogether desirable. It may show folds or creases, or some light smudges from the hands of a past generation. Sometimes, Very Fine notes are the best available in certain rare issues, and they should accordingly be cherished just as much as uncirculated notes.
Fine
A fine note shows evidence of much more circulation, has lost its crispness and very fine detail, and creases are more pronounced, although the note is still not seriously soiled or stained.
