The Czech koruna is the official currency of the Czech Republic and is a valid means of payment only in this country. The Czech koruna was introduced in 1993, making it one of the youngest currencies in Europe. Crowns, although not Czech, were also in force earlier – in 1892 they replaced guilders and were valid in Austria-Hungary.
In 1918, when Czechoslovakia was established, the Czechoslovak crown was also established. Following the breakup of Czechoslovakia in December 1992, both countries changed currencies, but only after a month – during which time they maintained a monetary union and the Czechoslovak koruna. Later, for several months, Czech korunas continued to circulate in parallel with Czechoslovak korunas.
The Czech Republic, like Poland, did not adopt the euro despite being a member of the European Union, while Slovakia changed its official currency in 2009. Currently, the Czechs do not want to join the euro zone. In 2007, it turned out that the Czech koruna was more stable than the euro during the financial crisis.
The Czech koruna does not have a residual denomination, i.e. the Polish equivalent of groszy – one koruna is no longer divided into smaller parts. Although in theory the crown is divided into 100 hellers, the smallest denominations were withdrawn in 2009. The obverse of each coin shows the Czech coat of arms lion. According to the ISO 4217 standard, the Czech koruna is marked with the international symbol CZK. In the Czech Republic, her homeland, the abbreviation Kč, derived from the words “koruna česká”, is also commonly used. Some Czechs still remember the “h”, referring to the halerz, which is one hundredth of a crown, but the halerz is no longer in everyday use.
