History

100 Czechoslovak crowns

A currency called "crown" (in German Krone) was introduced in the Austria-Hungary monarchy on 11 September 1892, as the first modern gold-based currency in the area. After the creation of the independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, an urgent need for establishing a new currency system, that would distinguish itself from the currencies of the other newly born countries suffering from inflation, emerged. The next year, on 10 April 1919, a currency reform took place, defining the new Czechoslovak crown (in Czech and Slovak Koruna československá, Kč/later Kčs). The first banknotes came into circulation the same year, the coins three years later, in 1922.

The crown currency went through a number of further reforms. A particularly drastic one was undertaken in 1953. At that time the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia had to deal with the fact that the there was a double market in the country: a fixed market ensuring basic food availability - a remnant of the post war quota system, and a free market, in which goods were as much as eight times more expensive but of a higher quality. They decided to declare a currency reform valid from 1 June 1953, and to distribute new banknotes printed in the USSR. The reform had been prepared very quickly and was confidential up to the last minute, but some information leaked anyway, causing a lot of panic among people. The night before the deadline, the president of Czechoslovakia Antonín Zápotocký had a radio speech, in which he strictly denied any possibility of a reform and quieted down the inhabitants, though he had to know that he was lying to the nation. The next day, people (that were lucky enough not to fit into the category of "capitalistic elements", a pejorative category to which the intelligence agency used to blacklist certain individuals) were allowed to change money up to 300 new crowns (in the rate of 5 old to 1 new koruna) and the rest in the rate of 50:1. All insurance stock, state obligations and other commercial papers were nullified. The economic situation of many people got worse insofar as many petitions and demonstrations broke out, the largest of which took place in Plzen, where 472 people were arrested.
