The Czech National Bank issued a special five-thousand-crown banknote with a holographic overprint on Tuesday. The issue commemorates the 100th anniversary of the launch of operations of the National Bank of Czechoslovakia, which was the predecessor of today's central bank. Interested parties could purchase the banknote at CNB cash desks in Prague. novinky.cz ↗
A long line formed outside the Prague branch on Na Příkopě street from the night hours onward. Hundreds of people waited until morning, with some spending the entire night in front of the building. The interest was driven mainly by the collector's value of the issue, which, according to available information, differs from the ordinary five-thousand-crown banknote through its special overprint. idnes.cz ↗
The hologram on the banknote also contains a QR code and two portraits. Although it was issued as an anniversary edition, it can be used for ordinary payments. For collectors, however, it has a higher value than its nominal price, mainly due to the limited issue and historical significance. ekonomickydenik.cz ↗
With this issue, the Czech National Bank commemorates the founding of the institution, which began operating a hundred years ago. The anniversary banknote thus connects the current form of the Czech currency with the history of central banking on the territory of Czechoslovakia. Public interest showed that similar issues still attract a large number of collectors and other interested parties.
