A standout addition to any world currency collection: an UNC (Uncirculated) Banknote Pair from historic Czechoslovakia, featuring the 10 Korun 1953 (P-83b) and the 50 Korun 1953 (P-85b) notes. Both banknotes come from the 1953 series issued by the State Bank of Czechoslovakia, and both are offered in Uncirculated (UNC) condition, crisp, clean, and free from circulation wear.
These notes were released following a major monetary reform in June 1953, and they bridge everyday utility with design elements reflective of their time and place. This pair is ideal for collectors of European paper money, post-war currency issues, or anyone building a thematic collection of Czechoslovak banknotes.
🧾 Included Banknotes
- 10 Korun 1953 P-83b
- 50 Korun 1953 P-85b
- The front of the note features a statue symbolizing Brotherhood located in Česká Třebová (Böhmisch Trübau) in the eastern region of what was then Czechoslovakia. This sculpture reflects themes of unity and collective strength common in the early People’s Republic era.
- On the reverse, the design shifts to a scenic city view of Banská Bystrica in Slovakia, alongside the national coat of arms of Czechoslovakia.
🏛️ Why This Pair Is Special
- Uncirculated Quality: Both notes are offered in UNC condition, meaning they are free from folds, creases, and other signs of everyday use. Collectors value UNC notes for their crisp edges, bright paper, and full printing contrast.
- Post-War Monetary Reform Series: These notes were part of the first major series issued after the 1953 Czechoslovak monetary reform, representing a distinct chapter in the nation’s economic history.
- Cultural & Geographic Imagery: The 50 Korun’s scenic reverse and symbolic obverse add visual depth to the set, giving it appeal both as currency history and as art.
- European Banknote Heritage: As part of the Czechoslovak koruna tradition, this pair reflects mid-20th-century European banknote design, perfect for comparison with other contemporary series from the region.
This Czechoslovakia UNC Banknote Pair is an elegant and historically meaningful set that brings together fine UNC quality and distinctive mid-century design, making it a compelling highlight for serious collectors and enthusiasts alike.

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.
