This note entered circulation on 8 February 1993 — just weeks after the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia on 1 January — making it one of the first purpose-designed issues of the newly independent Czech state rather than an overstamped carryover from the federal currency. Thomas De La Rue handled production while the Czech infrastructure caught up with the demands of sudden monetary independence.
Kulhánek and Ondráček would go on to collaborate across the entire founding Czech koruna series, and Ondráček's intaglio work here is among the finer engraving in the run.
