Slovakia 1993-2000 Issue

Slovakia’s first banknote series after independence, issued in 1993, consisted of the following denominations:

20 korun: Prince Pribina (ruler of Nitra)

50 korun: Ľudovít Štúr (linguist and national revivalist)

100 korun: Andrej Hlinka (priest and politician)

200 korun: Anton Bernolák (linguist and priest)

500 korun: Ľudovít Štúr (different design)

1000 korun: Andrej Hlinka (different design)

This series played a crucial role in establishing Slovakia’s monetary sovereignty and reinforcing its national identity in the early years of independence. The notes remained in circulation until Slovakia adopted the euro in 2009.
