Note
409 forgery pieces in two types were captured and characterized as dangerous in 1920-1931. The forgery work originates from two forgery workshops in Vienna and Czestochowa and was distributed in the whole Czechoslovak terrirory, mainly in large cities of Czechia, Slovakia and Moravia, but in Carpathian Ruthenia, too. A part of the forged pieces was captured abroad as well. The majority of the forged pieces stored afterwards in Banking office of the Ministry of Finance, later on the National Bank of Czechoslovakia or National bank for Czechia and Moravia, was destroyed during two large shredding actions in 1938 and 1940. Other samples got to the collector public mainly through commemoration representative albums of the State bank of Czechoslovakia. For these collections, however, very rare original printouts could not be used anymore. Unqualified reparation. Mounted. On obverse there is a number 804 written by pencil
