Description of the five-hundred dollar banknote dated 12 March 1946.
The banknote is printed on white velvet paper of a special composition, which creates a watermark inside the print pattern at the right side (when viewed with the face sides of the tender), well visible in the view against the light: the head of the young man facing into the space of the tender and almost from the profile displayed, whose dark hair is decorated by a bright image of the laurel. The banknote is 95 mm wide and 165 mm long. Smaller deviations are possible.
The main print patterns on both face and back are brown colours and occupy almost the entire area of paper except the white edge, on all four sides approximately the same width.
On the face of the banknote, the main printing is enclosed on four sides with a narrow guilloch tape from a variety of white cords. This tape is accompanied by a wider decorative belt with a distinctive light national ornament made of apples and flowers on a dark ground, along both sides and along the left vertical side.
In the left part of the main print there is an engraved portrait of Slovak poet and promoter Jan Kollár in the oval frame, displayed from three quarters. Below inside the oval frame is a small light inscription:
_
Under the oval pattern, the serial marking is in large letters and the 6-digit number of the banknote is 3 mm high, all in yellow. The same series and number marking shall be repeated in the upper right corner but by 4 mm high digits and in light red colour. In the lower right corner there is a bright "500" digit.
In the middle of the inner space of the main framework is the text:
"National Bank of Czechoslovakia
_
_
CZECH LOCAL ';
under it then orange little state emblem of the republic amidst ornaments of flowers and guilloche roses in colors orange, green and brown, top then
"In Prague, 12. MARCA 1946.
THE NATIONAL BANK OF CZECH REPUBLIC
Dr. Jaroslav Heavenly
Dr. L. Chmel
Oliva "
and at the very bottom along the inside of the criminal threat framework:
"FALSHOVANIA BANKOVIEK SA PRETTY SUBSIDY AND LAW '.
The underprint of the face shall be, on the one hand, a net of parallel bellows, diagonally right down facing, coloured in rainbow vertical stripes, on the sides of the green, left from the axis of the brown tender, and on the other hand a fine flat sample of alternating flowers and figures "500." This sample is mainly orange, transforms to brown violet at the left and right side and creates a vertical net of brown purple lines at the positions of the Kollarova image.
The main printing on the reverse is also enclosed on all four sides by a narrow tape of the white waveband. This tape is accompanied on three inner sides, except the vertical side on the left, by a wide decorative belt, carrying in all four corners a square rose of fine white wool without digits. The square roses are then repeated in a wide band along three sides, followed by national ornaments, with the exception of the belt space above and below the watermark, where two large digits "500" are placed.
Inside the frame formed by the decorative belt, there is a space on the left for watermark, finely drawn in brown horizontal lines at the top and bottom, and enclosed on both vertical sides by tapes of styled laurel leaves.
In the right large part of the inner space of the frame is engraved landscape view of the part of the Massif of the High Tatras with the mountain Kriván in the background and with the part of the Strbske Ball in the foreground.
The underprint of the reverse is a net of parallel bellows, diagonally right down the course. The colour of the net passes in vertical rainbow stripes from the blue to the left at the watermark points in the yellow and green middle in the background of the Tater and again in the blue at the right side of the tender.
