The K.u.K. Staats-Central-Casse — the Imperial and Royal State Central Treasury — issued this note in 1850 during a period of acute fiscal stress following the revolutionary upheavals of 1848–49. The Habsburg state had burned through its reserves suppressing uprisings across Hungary, Italy, and Bohemia, and the treasury notes of this period were essentially forced debt instruments, circulating alongside a metallic currency that had largely disappeared from trade.
At 1000 Gulden, this was the highest denomination in practical circulation and would have moved almost exclusively between commercial houses and state institutions. Surviving examples are rare — the denomination itself implies heavy institutional use and subsequent destruction through redemption.
