Modern account-unit review

The Protectorate retained the inherited Czechoslovak koruna locally after the 1939 territorial partition. Article 10 retained koruna payments and article 12 existing law; subsequent Protectorate budgets and claims remained koruna-denominated within the distinct occupation monetary regime. The connection is local continuation of the former common account system after territorial separation. There was no new unit created merely by renaming the bank or printing new notes. The 10:1 Reichsmark rating is a peg/control relation, not its ancestry.

Inference C853

The Protectorate koruna succeeded the Czechoslovak currency in Bohemia and Moravia.

Corrected interpretation: Revision 27 supplies a new evidence basis for R0297. The connection is local continuation of the former common account system after territorial separation. There was no new unit created merely by renaming the bank or printing new notes. The 10:1 Reichsmark rating is a peg/control relation, not its ancestry. Replacement evidence: C1631.
