Printed in Moscow by Goznak under wartime conditions, this note was prepared by the Czechoslovak government-in-exile's financial apparatus in anticipation of liberation — part of a broader effort to have usable currency ready before the Red Army crossed into Czechoslovak territory. The Soviet connection was not incidental: by 1944 the exiled government in London had firmly aligned its postwar planning with Moscow, and the printing arrangement reflected that political reality directly.
The Goznak facility had long produced currency for foreign states, but this commission placed Soviet presses in the unusual position of printing money for a nominally Western republic.
