| Comments |
The k.k. Staats-Central-Cassa — the Imperial-Royal State Central Treasury — issued this note amid the financial chaos of 1848–49, when the Habsburg government was simultaneously fighting revolution in Hungary, Italy, and Bohemia. Military expenditure had gutted the state's metallic reserves, and the treasury turned to large-denomination paper to manage obligations at the institutional level. This 1000 Gulden note was never intended for ordinary retail circulation; at that value it moved between merchants, banks, and government creditors.
Survivors are rare. The 1858 monetary reorganization and successive currency reforms prompted systematic redemption and destruction of earlier Staatsnoten issues.
