  • @Crisco- Which US tag? The underlying note is PD under CZ money (added), but qualifies as EU-Anon-70 for both the underlying base unissued Czech note and/or the added German overprint and issue. Am I missing something governing the note?--Godot13 (talk) 18:59, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good question. According to Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights, at the time of the URAA, the Czech copyright law was 50 years p.a. (after the death of the author). Anonymous works were 50 years post publication (See Section 33, ss. 3 of the copyright law applicable when the URAA was enacted. That means that the US copyright tag should be {{PD-1996}} on Commons (though I'd explicitly note what the copyright law said in 1996, when the URAA was enacted). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:02, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
