Leitomischl 2026 – 500 and 200 kronen banknotes

John Amos Comenius is on the 200 CZK note. He is the father of modern education (well, probably not the father of the very modern education). Note the plan of the fortress town of Naarden on the background, where he was buried. He lived his last 14 years in Amsterdam, after he had to flee Moravia because of his protestant faith.

On the 500 CZK is Božena Němcová. She was a famous 19th-century writer and a foundational figure of the Czech National Revival movement, best known for her landmark novel Babička ("The Grandmother")
