The commemorative banknotes of the Czech National Bank pay tribute to significant personalities associated with the building of the Czechoslovak currency. The third collector's paper currency with a nominal value of 100 Kč commemorates Vilém Pospíšil.

Although Vilém Pospíšil studied law, he decided to try his luck at the Prague Municipal Savings Bank. This choice changed his entire life. In 1902, he started as a regular clerk, but in 1917 he became the director, and in 1922 even the chief director of the company. During the First World War, he risked everything by actively participating in the anti-Austrian resistance, and after the collapse of the monarchy, he contributed to the monetary separation as a significant financial expert. In 1919, he became the vice-chairman of the banking committee of the Banking Office of the Ministry of Finance – a state institution that provisionally played the role of a central bank. He was nominated for this position as a supporter of Alois Rašín's economic concept, but also as a leading representative of Czechoslovak savings banking, holding the position of chairman of the Union of Czechoslovak Savings Banks. Vilém Pospíšil further represented Czechoslovakia in the financial commission of the League of Nations and in 1926 became the first governor of the National Bank of Czechoslovakia – the highest representative of a truly independent central bank of the state…

The author of the artistic design of the banknote is academic painter Eva Hašková. On the obverse side, you will find a portrait of Vilém Pospíšil, the building of the Czech National Bank in Prague with the sculpture of the Light Bearer and a lion, a cornucopia with fruits, the central state emblem of the Czechoslovak Republic, and a genius with a laurel wreath. The reverse side of the banknote then presents the corner of the former headquarters of the Prague Municipal Savings Bank, fruit, the large state emblem of the Czech Republic, a linden wreath, and a genius with a beehive.

The issuance of commemorative banknotes was sanctioned by a special law, and their exclusive manufacturer is the Prague State Printing Works of Securities.
