History
The Czech koruna (crown) is not merely a currency but a symbol of Czech national identity and a record of the country's complex political history. The name derives from the Latin corona, meaning crown, a reference to the royal coinage of Bohemia's medieval kings.
The Austro-Hungarian krone was the currency across Central Europe before World War I. When Czechoslovakia was established in 1918, it inherited the krone but quickly introduced its own Czechoslovak koruna through a currency separation — one of history's earliest and most successful currency divorces, executed by Finance Minister Alois Rašín by stamping Austro-Hungarian notes.
Under Nazi occupation (1939–1945), the koruna was replaced by the Reichsmark in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The postwar restoration of Czechoslovakia brought a new currency, then the communist takeover in 1948 made the koruna a non-convertible state currency. A 1953 monetary reform wiped out savings, exchanging old money for new at 5:1 for small amounts and 50:1 for larger sums.
When Czechoslovakia peacefully split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia on 1 January 1993, the two nations agreed to maintain a currency union. It lasted only 38 days: by 8 February 1993, both countries had introduced their own notes. The Czech koruna has been freely convertible since 1995. The Czech National Bank managed an exchange rate floor of 27 CZK/EUR from 2013 to 2017 to prevent deflation, a policy reminiscent of Switzerland's 2011–2015 peg.
