Commemorative “banknotes” issued to mark 10th anniversary of Václav Havel’s death

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the death of Václav Havel, the dissident playwright, human rights activist, and first president of post-communist Czechoslovakia. In honour of his memory, a commemorative sheet, resembling a banknote, has been issued, featuring an image of the late statesman chosen by his widow.
