CIRCULATION SILVER COINS OF CZECHOSLOVAKIA.

Coins in circulation in Zakarpatye area from end of the 1929 to November, 1928 and from October, 1944 to June, 1945.
The Czechoslovakian Republic was founded in October 28, 1918 with Tomas G. Masarik as President.
In the Munich Agreement of 1938, the UK and France forced Czechoslovakia to cede the German-speaking borderlands to Nazi Germany despite existing treaties, in what is commonly known as part of the Western Betrayal. In 1939 the remainder ("rump") of Czechoslovakia was invaded by Nazi Germany and divided into the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and the puppet Slovak State. Much of Slovakia and all of Zakarpatye (Subcarpathian Ruthenia) was annexed by Hungary. Poland occupied Zaolzie, an area with a Polish minority (October 1938).
After World War II, prewar Czechoslovakia was re-established, with the exception of Zakarpatye, which was annexed by the Soviet Union and incorporated into the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in November 22, 1945.


Monetary system: 1 Koruna = 100 Haleru.
