Commenti	Eger issued its own emergency paper money in 1849 during the Hungarian Revolution, when the collapse of regular monetary supply forced dozens of Hungarian towns to produce their own scrip. These municipal notes — called Stadtkassenscheine or városipénztárjegyek depending on which language you were using that week — were a direct consequence of the Kossuth government's disruption of Habsburg financial infrastructure, and most were printed under severe material constraints. The bilingual naming of the issuer reflects Eger's mixed population: the city was known as Erlau to its German-speaking inhabitants. Ambrus #104 is among the smaller-denomination municipal issues of the period, and surviving examples tend to show heavy handling — these circulated hard in a short time.
