  1. Not much in this condition. You can consult numista website for more info.
    It sells for around 15€ in uncirculated condition. And this one is not low series number or anything interesting

  2. What determines the value of historical banknotes are mostly these 3 factors:

    Most important is state of wear of the banknote (this one is in very poor condition, it was heavilly used, color is greyed out, has several folds and damaged corners).

    Second important factor is rarity. How many banknotes were produced and were left after currency expired or was cancelled, changed etc (This banknote is not so old, it’s actually the latest currency that was used in Czechoslovakia, even after the republics were split those banknotes remained in economy with stamp on it. There were many pieces left, and almost every collector of historical czechoslovak banknotes has it).

    Third factor is serial number. Some are more valuable than others from different reasons like banknote could be one of the first/last printed. Or some series were printed with some visual mistake, what makes the banknote rare. Or some series were destroyed, stolen etc. and the banknote could somehow survive it, what would make it rare again. Also some series of Czechoslovak banknotes were printed abroad. (This serie is very common and number is not really interesting, there is no any interesting story behind this one).

    So sorry to say that but if someone gives you the nominal value of this banknote (10 Kčs) it would be appropriate. If I were you I would keep it as a nice souvenir.

  3. It’s worthless in this condition as it’s very common banknote. It was the lowest denomination banknote in Czechoslovakia in 1980s and it portrays Pavol Orszagh Hviezdoslav, Slovak poet. The text on the banknote is in Slovak, 20 korun was in Czech, 50 korun in Slovak and so on.
