Slavia

Slavia holds a ring in her hand which symbolizes unity, and there are two stylized peace doves on the armrests of the hidden throne she is sitting on; but just in case, she also has a sword in her lap, the message being that the Slav is peaceful by nature but will fight when attacked. Here, Slavia is merely encouraging you to buy insurance from the Mutual Insurance Bank of Prague. But she has a bright future in store. This was one of Mucha's favourite designs, and was used again on a Czech 100 crowns note issued in 1920, and finally on a stained-glass window for St. Vitus Cathedral.
