| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a detailed intaglio-style view of the Charles Bridge in Prague, with its Gothic tower and baroque statues visible along the balustrade, rendered in deep blue against a guilloche background. At lower centre, a crowned rampant Bohemian lion is printed in red-brown as an overprint element. To the right, a multicolour vignette of the Prague Astronomical Clock (Orloj) is inscribed PRAHA, while at left a green and gold guilloche medallion contains the numeral 100. |

A private fantasy note with no monetary authority behind it — Franck Medina is a French artist and collector who has produced a series of imaginative regional issues under invented or historical regional identities. These are collector curiosities, not forgeries of any legal tender, and they circulate in the small world of exonumia and fantasy banknote collecting.
No redemption value, no issuing bank, no legal standing anywhere. The "Oblast Čechy" framing invokes a Bohemian regional identity that has not existed as an administrative unit in any politically meaningful sense for over a century.
