A. TRIBUTE TO C9URB.G-E - By Vic tor Gadoury,

The numismatic world j o i n s t h e f r e e world i n a t r i b u t e t o t h e staunch heroiSm t h a t has be- come t h e bi-word of the Czechoslovakian people, This then, i n my own way i s a t r i b u t e t o t h e s e people,

Some f i f t y years before t h e Russian tanks rumbled through t h e s t r e e t s of Prague, t h e Re- publ ic came i n t o being; b u t t h e Numismatic h i s t o r y of Czechoslovakia a c t u a l l y began on February 16, 1922, This was t h e d a t e of t h e f i r s t coinage of Czechoslovakia t h a t was s t ruck t o u l t ima te ly r ep lace the Austro-Hungarian coinage and currency, The Austro-Hungarian bank no tes remained i n c i r c u l a t i o n u n t i l Novem- ber 20, 1924, bu t were counterstamped t o d i s t - ingu i sh them from t h e i r former o r i g i n ,

The 20 and 0 Ilaleru coins were t h e f i r s t denominations t o d e placed i n t o c i r c u l a t i o n by the Czechoslovakian Government, These coins were made of a copper-nickel a l loy , and n o t u n t i l seven years l a t e r d id a s i l v e r coin appe are

The 10 Korona (700 f i n e s i l v e r ) bears t h e b u s t of T o G , Masaryk, t h e R e p c ~ l i c ' s f i r s t p res iden t , It was Tomas Garrique Masayk along wi th Edward Benes, who gradual ly uni ted the Bzechs and the Slovaks i n r e v o l t , t h a t broughf independence. On June 30, 1918, T.G, Masarykt s s igna tu re on an agreement between t h e Czechs and t h e Slovaks o f f i c i a l l y founded the new

The minor coins of Czechoslovakia, from conception i n 1922 t o 1939 were t y p i c a l of a s t r i v i n g young country, The copper-ni ckel one Korona s t rong ly symbolizes t h i s f e e l i n g wi th a woman wiping t h e p e r s p i r a t i o n of f her brow, A l l minor coins of thak time have t h e Bohemian

The coinage of Czechoslovakia was discont inued on March 15, 1939, when the German t roops marched i n t o Prague, The German occup-- a t i o n a l coinage was divided i n t o two groups. They were: Slovakia, an independent Republic s e t up by H i t l e r , and t h e P ro tec to ra te of Bohemia-Mor avia , which inc ludes t h e remaining a r e a of Czechoslovakia n o t ceded t o Hungary i n t h e Vienna Awad of November 2, 1938,

The coinage of Slovakia consis ted of 1 2 d i f f e r e n t types of coins , including f i v e cornrnelnorative i s sues . The f i r s t coimenior a t i v e was a f i v e Korona ( n i c k e l 2 7 m ) of Father Andrej Iilinka, l eader of tlie peoples pa r ty a i d a l ead ing const i tuei i t of a, separa te Slovakia, Later t h a t same y e w , another commemorative was i ssued on t h e occas- i o n of t h e f i r s t e l e c t i o n of the Pres ident of Slovakia, This was a 20 Korona ) 500 f i n e s i l v e r ) portraying Fathe? Joseph Tiso, a followe- of H i t l e r . Two years l a t e r ( l g k l ) , another 20 ICorona was i ssued t o comernorate St . C y r i l 1 and Methodius, I n 1944, two more comemora.- t i v e s were i ssued , one honouring Pribina, Prince of Slovakia and t h e o the r t o commemorate the 5 th anniversary of t h e Slovak Republic, f ~ c n 1939 t o 19450

The Bohemia-Mor a v i a Protec tor a t e i ssued only four co ins , M.2- were made of Zinc. They were 10, 20 and 50 Haleru 's a s wel l as a one Korona. To t h i s day no p o s i t i v e mintage f i g u r e s zlre known as these coins were all s t ruck by a p r i v a t e firm; it i s hel ieved t h a t t h i s f i rm kept no record of t h e i r occupational coins ,

Although Czechoslovakia was l i b e r a t e d on May 9, 194.5, i t s cub- rency was n o t renewed u n t i l November 1, 1945, and put i n t o c5rcul.a- t i o n on Apri l 25, 1946,

Dexr B i l l : The f i n a l r e p o r t s and c h a r t s i n r e g m d s t o my

plzysicd examination has j u s t come through yesterday, and my d o c t o r ' s orders a r e l"co drop everyth5ng1I a d do nothing except r e s t and s leep , which I know now I f 11 never be ab le t o do as I have always l e d an a c t i v e , p a r t i c i p a t i a g s t y l e of l i f e ,

However, I w i l l have t o take it a l o t e a s i e r than I have i n the pas t , which means giving up most of t h e work I l o v e more than l i f e i t s e l f , namely numismatics.

Therefore, it i s w i t h s i n c e r e r e g r e t t h a t I must tender my r e s i g n a t i o n from t h e p o s i t i o n s t h a t I now hold i n t h e 0. N.A., t o bccor~e e f f e c t i v e one month from to-day, which w i l l . be on May 12th , 1969.

The reason f o r wai t ing another month i s so t h a t 1 can f i n i s h my work f o r t h e O.N,A. and do everything I can t o make t h e forthcoming combined Conventions t h e success t h a t we all hope i t w i l l be.

The f r i e n d s h i p s I have made during t h e shor t period of time t h a t I have served wi th t h e var ious members of t h e 0. NoA., both on the Executive, and. otherwise, w i l l n o t be fo rgo t t en ,
