Hungary's 1946 hyperinflation remains the most severe ever recorded. By late July 1946, the daily inflation rate exceeded 200 percent, and the pengő's total collapse required denominations that strained basic comprehension — the milliárd pengő (one billion) was not the ceiling but a midpoint in a cascade that eventually produced the 100 quintillion pengő note. The entire pengő series was withdrawn on 1 August 1946 and replaced by the forint at a rate so extreme the conversion figure itself became historically famous: 400,000 quadrillion pengő to one forint.
Endre Horváth both designed and engraved the note — unusually, a single hand responsible for the full execution — working under conditions where the practical lifespan of any new denomination was measured in days.
