Historical banknotes and milestones in Czech banknote production
Before the adoption of the Czech koruna, the country used the Czechoslovak koruna. An important milestone was the introduction of the first 5000 koruna banknote in 1993, featuring the first president of Czechoslovakia, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. In 2007, a new banknote design was introduced with enhanced security features, including security threads and color-changing inks. The Czech Republic has also issued commemorative banknotes, such as the 2,000 koruna bill in 2018 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia.
