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.
