| Opmerkingen |
Rozsnyó was a small mining town in northern Hungary, and like dozens of Hungarian municipalities in 1849, its city treasury issued emergency fractional notes to cover the acute shortage of small-denomination currency during the Hungarian Revolution against Habsburg rule. These local pénztárjegy — treasury notes — were printed under improvised conditions, often by local presses with no specialized banknote experience, and their crude typography and thin paper stock reflect exactly that. The Ambrus catalog documents well over a hundred distinct municipal issuers from this period, most producing only a single denomination.
Survival rates for Rozsnyó issues are low. After the revolution was crushed in August 1849, Austrian authorities moved to suppress all revolutionary-era paper, and many municipal notes were surrendered or destroyed during reoccupation.
