Own an authentic banknote from one of the most significant periods in Slovak history. This original Slovakia 100 Korún P-10a banknote was issued during the Slovak Republic period (1939–1945) and beautifully combines medieval heritage, national symbolism, and intricate engraving artistry.
Featuring the portrait of Prince Pribina, one of the earliest known rulers connected to Slovak history, and an allegorical female figure representing the Slovak nation, this note is a remarkable collectible that captures both the cultural identity and historical aspirations of Slovakia during the early 20th century.
Its detailed artwork, historical significance, and wartime-era origins make it an excellent addition to any collection of world banknotes, European currency, or historical memorabilia.
Following the establishment of the Slovak Republic in 1939, the newly formed state introduced its own national currency, the Slovak Koruna. These banknotes became symbols of national identity and sovereignty during a turbulent period in European history.
The 100 Korún note honors Prince Pribina, a 9th-century ruler associated with the earliest known Christian church in Slovak territory. His inclusion reflects Slovakia's connection to its medieval roots and cultural heritage.
The reverse features an allegorical female figure holding a shield bearing the Slovak emblem, representing the nation itself. Together, these images convey themes of history, identity, and independence, making this banknote far more than a simple means of exchange.
Today, surviving examples are sought after by collectors interested in Slovak history, World War II-era currency, and European numismatics.

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.
