Original – The first issue (March 1939) of paper currency in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia was an unissued 1938 Republic of Czechoslovakia 1 koruna note originally intended for the Czech army. During the beginning of the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, an oval stamp was applied to the unissued 1938 stock of notes, identifying the currency as valid in the Protectorate. Overprint reads: Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren, Protektorat Cechy a Morava.

Reason

High quality, high EV. One-year emergency currency issue of the one and five koruna during the first year of the German occupation of Czechoslovakia.

• Comment - Image page needs a US copyright tag for the underlying note (may also apply to other images in the series). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:01, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

• Wonder if the woman on the obverse represents a specific person in Czech/Bohemian history? Sca (talk) 14:06, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

• @Crisco- Which US tag? The underlying note is PD under CZ money (added), but qualifies as EU-Anon-70 for both the underlying base unissued Czech note and/or the added German overprint and issue. Am I missing something governing the note?--Godot13 (talk) 18:59, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

• Good question. According to Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights, at the time of the URAA, the Czech copyright law was 50 years p.a. (after the death of the author). Anonymous works were 50 years post publication (See Section 33, ss. 3 of the copyright law applicable when the URAA was enacted. That means that the US copyright tag should be {{PD-1996}} on Commons (though I'd explicitly note what the copyright law said in 1996, when the URAA was enacted). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:02, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

• Thanks Crisco- I'm so used to dealing with PD US notes I sometimes forget all the PD options...--Godot13 (talk) 19:07, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
