The first edition of Pavel Hejzlar's catalogue on paper money in Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia from 1900 onwards was published in 2019 and reviewed here on the blog. The third edition was published in March 2026.
Much has changed since the first edition. Not only has the catalog grown from 280 to 436 pages, and its cover price more than doubled, but valuations have also adapted to the developments in the extremely robust Czech and Slovak paper money collectors' market. These valuations, especially for mint-condition notes, have risen significantly, in some cases by up to 30% for Czechoslovakian issues. Paper money from Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia remains in high demand, and rare pieces sometimes fetch breathtaking prices at auctions in the country (see, for example,
https://www.geldscheine-online.com/post/bankovky-6-eine-banknotenauktion-mit-vielen-highlights). A look at the crowds at the Sberatel collectors' fair in Prague also reveals that the hobby is attracting younger collectors in our neighboring country.
Pavel Hejzlar is a renowned expert in the field of Czechoslovakian paper money. After many years at the Aurea auction house in Prague, he has been working for the Bankovky.com auction house , also in Prague, since September 2025, together with Aleš Kohout. Collectors know him from, among other things, the Sberatel fair in Prague and the MIF fair in Maastricht.
Hejzlar's catalogue covers all paper money issues that circulated in the territory of the former Czechoslovakia since 1900, beginning with the crown notes of the Austro-Hungarian Bank from 1900 onwards, through the notes of the Bank Office and the National Bank, the issues of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and Slovakia, the post-war issues, and the issues of the successor states Czech Republic and Slovakia from 1993 onwards. German and Hungarian banknotes that circulated in the Sudetenland and the Hungarian parts of Slovakia, respectively, between 1938 and 1945 are also catalogued.
