The Oesterreichisch-ungarische Bank issued this note deep into the First World War, when the Austro-Hungarian monetary system was under severe strain from war financing. By 1916, inflation was accelerating and the empire was printing small-denomination notes partly to address a chronic shortage of coin — silver and copper had been hoarded or redirected to the war effort, pulling metal out of everyday commerce.
P#20 is one of the more common survivors of the series, but the paper itself is notoriously fragile: wartime stock was of reduced quality, and many examples have not aged well.
