Czechoslovakia's first paper money series appeared almost immediately after the state itself — the republic was declared in October 1918, and these notes followed in 1919, issued under emergency conditions before a proper central bank existed. The provisional government was in a hurry: Austrian and Hungarian currency still circulated freely, and the new state needed something it could stamp as its own.
The notes were actually overprinted Austrian and Hungarian issues, then later replaced by properly printed Czechoslovak paper. P#1 sits at the very beginning of that scramble — monetary identity as an act of political urgency.
