1.000 Korun CZK Banknote (1993 Provisional Issue (Revalidation Stamps on Czechoslovak Notes)) 1985

1.000 Korun Czech Koruna (Issued 1985)

The Czechoslovak State Bank issued this 1.000 Korun denomination during a period when Czechoslovakia remained a unified federal socialist republic, with the State Bank serving as the central monetary authority responsible for currency circulation across both Czech and Slovak territories. The banknote represented a high-value denomination within the Czechoslovak koruna system, intended for significant commercial and institutional transactions. This particular note carries particular historical significance as it was subsequently revalidated in 1993 following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia and the emergence of the independent Czech Republic, evidenced by the provisional overprint stamps applied during the currency transition period. The revalidation process transformed existing Czechoslovak currency into valid Czech koruna notes during the critical weeks following the Velvet Divorce in January 1993.

On the front, the banknote displays a striking portrait of a bearded gentleman positioned toward the right side of the composition, rendered in deep blue-purple intaglio engraving that demonstrates the fine linework characteristic of classical banknote portraiture. The left edge features a vertical security element comprising concentric rectangular frames in tan and brown tones, with circular blue-purple devices positioned below. The central design incorporates the Czechoslovak state coat of arms flanked by ornamental laurel wreaths and a shield bearing heraldic symbols in red and green. The denomination text reads “TISIC KORUN CESKOSLOVENSKYCH” in prominent capital letters spanning the middle section, with “1000” repeated in the lower right corner in large numerals. The issuing bank identification “BANKA STATNI BANKY CESKOSLOVENSKE” appears across the upper portion, whilst a serial number “C65 678501” is printed in red-brown ink on both the upper left and lower left margins. Fine geometric guillochè patterns in purple create decorative borders framing the entire composition, with additional security features including a purple-toned security stripe visible on the left margin.

The reverse presents a dramatic landscape engraving in deep blue-purple tones depicting a mountainous river scene with steep rocky cliffs rising from water in the left and centre portions of the composition. The landscape features detailed shoreline rendering with forested areas and architectural structures visible within the distant vista, demonstrating skilled landscape engraving technique. The denomination “1000” appears prominently in the upper left corner and again in the lower right corner in large numerals, with vertical orientation on the right margin showing “1000” repeated three times within guillochè oval frames rendered in purple ink. The paper exhibits the cream-white colouration typical of Czechoslovak banknote production, with visible security watermarks and the natural aging characteristics of thirty-year-old currency stock.
