This listing is for the photographed 1938 Czechoslovakia Republic/ Bohemia and Moravia Protectorate 1 Koruna Hand Stamped Bank Note. The original banknote was issued by the Czechoslovakian government, but was later hand stamped to be used by the Bohemian and Moravian Protectorate. Hand-stamped type rather than mechanical stamp, rarer variety. The obverse of this note shows an allegorical representation of liberty wearing a liberty cap on the right end. The reverse shows the Czechoslovakian coat of arms at the left end. Extremely Fine (XF) grade/condition, minor folds and other signs of circulation, crisp note! This note provides an excellent look into the fascinating history of Czechoslovakia and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. P#1a (Pick Number 1a). Rarer note!

The Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia was a partially annexed territory of Germany during World War II that originally made up the majority of Czechoslovakia. It was established in March of 1939 after the German occupation of Czechoslovakia. The protectorate remained nominally autonomous and had a dual system of government, with German law applying to ethnic Germans while other residents had the legal status of Protectorate subjects and were governed by a puppet Czech administration. The Czech workforce was a well-trained, highly developed industry that was forced to majorly contribute to the German war economy. The state ceased to exist when the Germans surrendered to the Allied Forces in 1945, with the regions being reestablished as the Third Czechoslovak Republic.
