The Czech currency, the Czech koruna, was not created until 1919, several months after independence.
The Czech economist and patriot Alois Rašín was imprisoned during the First World War. He was a key figure in the creation of the Czech koruna (CZK). For this reason, a banknote pays tribute to him.
