Schlick-Nicholson was one of Hungary's major industrial enterprises — a Budapest-based manufacturer of railway wagons, machinery, and rivercraft whose operations were significant enough that during the chaotic economic collapse of 1919, the firm issued its own emergency currency to pay workers when state banknotes became effectively unavailable. These factory-issued notes, known collectively as szükségpénz, proliferated across Hungarian industry during the twin crises of post-war dissolution and the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic.
The Ambrus catalogue remains the primary reference for this class of Hungarian notgeld, and II#1417 is among the more industrially specific issues of the period.
