About this plate
A bare-V historic plate is therefore diagnostic of the earlier era and carries no geography whatsoever. The mark is issued to vehicles holding a "průkaz historického nebo sportovně historického vozidla" and NOT otherwise registered, it is a regime, not a decoration, which is why it is a series and not a specialty variant.
How the region is encoded
THE NUMERIC ALPHABET, NOT THE LETTER ONE, the single most trap-laden fact in Czech decoding. The two leading digits are the kraj code of § 26 odst. 6 (01 Praha, 02 Jihomoravský, 03 Jihočeský ...), which is ordered ALPHABETICALLY BY KRAJ NAME and agrees with the letter table on Praha and on nothing else. A parse API that mapped 02 to the second letter-table row would return Středočeský instead of Jihomoravský.

Legal basis and sources
