| Obverse description | Printed entirely in green on cream paper, the note carries the denomination title EGY KORONA in a rectangular cartouche at the top, framed by an ornate letterpress border with foliate and geometric motifs. The central vignette presents a rural agricultural scene with ox-drawn plough and field workers set against a mountainous landscape. Below the vignette, a text panel states the redemption terms, flanked by numeral '1' tablets inscribed KORONA at lower left and right, with a crossed-hammer miners' emblem at centre bottom. |

Nagykanizsa issued its own emergency currency in 1919 because it had to. The collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy left a monetary vacuum that central authorities couldn't fill quickly enough, and dozens of Hungarian municipalities printed their own szükségpénz — necessity money — to keep local commerce moving. Nagykanizsa's issue is notable for being sanctioned jointly by both the city and county administrations, an unusual dual-authority arrangement that distinguished it from purely municipal scrip.
Locally printed, which shows. Production quality on these wartime municipal issues varied enormously, and the Adamo catalogue reflects that in its sub-variant listings.
