Banknote Slovakia 100 Korun Madona Majstra Pavla - 2000

The 100 Korun banknote from Slovakia belongs to a particularly notable issue, designated as the Special Bimillennium 2000 Edition. It is part of the commemorations marking the transition to the third millennium, an initiative that led many countries to produce limited and distinctive series.

This banknote bears the official date of 1 September 1993, a symbolic date corresponding to the creation of the Slovak national currency, the Slovak koruna, established following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia and the independence of the Slovak Republic. It belongs to Series A, which distinguishes it within this special Bimillennium issue.

The face value of this banknote is 100 Korun, the official monetary unit of Slovakia before the adoption of the euro in 2009. This denomination was one of the most common in circulation within the Slovak economy at the time.

As a special edition, this banknote stands out from ordinary issues through its particular characteristics intended to commemorate the entry into the new millennium. Banknotes of this nature are generally produced in smaller print runs than standard issues, which gives them particular appeal for collectors and numismatic specialists.

The Národná banka Slovenska (National Bank of Slovakia) is the issuing institution responsible for this monetary series. The date of 1 September holds particular national significance in Slovakia, as it also corresponds to the adoption of the Slovak Constitution in 1992, making this temporal reference a strong identity anchor for the young Slovak Republic in its first monetary issues.
