This note belongs to the first wave of Slovak currency issued after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in January 1993 — the split required both successor states to produce sovereign paper currency almost immediately, under considerable time pressure. Thomas De La Rue handled the printing, a practical choice given the urgency and Slovakia's lack of established intaglio production capacity at the time.
Václav Fajt's engraving work is worth noting: despite the rushed circumstances of the series, the intaglio quality held up. The watermark remains the sole listed security feature, which by early 1990s standards was already lean.
