Banknotes of the Czech koruna

Banknotes of the Czech koruna

Czech koruna paper money is part of the physical form of the Czech Republic's currency. All Czech paper money are banknotes. First overstamped Czechoslovak koruna banknotes served as legal tender in the just-created Czech Republic. Later but still in 1993, the first original Czech banknotes appeared. These are still printed with small modifications.
