Prostějovský rodák Ing. Karel Hazura, spolutvůrce prvních československých papírových platidel

The paper is concerned with the significant contribution of a Viennese Czech, Ing. Karel Hazura (1859–1941), vice-director of the Money Printing Works of the Austro-Hungarian Bank in Vienna, to the creation of the first Czechoslovak state paper money issued from 1919 onwards and to the establishment of the Czechoslovak Money Printing Works in Prague. The paper draws on hitherto unknown archive sources and is a revealing contribution to the history of the origin of the first Czechoslovak paper money.
