The denomination is repeated in four languages in separate panels: ZEHN Ks (German), DESAŤ KORUN SLOVENSKÝCH (Slovak), ДЕСЯТЬ Кs (Rusyn/Ukrainian), and TÍZ Ks (Hungarian). A continuous microtext border band running along all four edges repeats SLOVENSKA REPUBLIKA and DESAŤ KORUN SLOVENSKÝCH, with the full denomination KORUN SLOVENSKÝCH inscribed in large letterpress along the lower margin.

Comments

The Slovak State's 1943 note series was produced entirely by Neografia in Turčiansky Svätý Martin — one of the few instances in wartime Central Europe where a collaborationist government managed domestic banknote production without relying on German or other Axis printing houses. Neografia had been established as a Slovak cultural and publishing enterprise decades earlier, and its adaptation to security printing under the wartime regime gave the Slovak State an unusual degree of monetary self-sufficiency for such a small and politically compromised entity.

The P#6 is the third denomination in this series and circulated through the full remaining lifespan of the Slovak State, right up to liberation in 1945.
