The Magyar Reviziós Liga was a nationalist organization dedicated to overturning the 1920 Treaty of Trianon, which stripped Hungary of roughly two-thirds of its prewar territory. This note — denominated in "Reviziós Pengő" — was never legal tender. It was a propaganda novelty, issued to be sold or distributed as a fundraising and awareness tool, its denomination a pointed fiction designed to remind holders that Hungary's territorial claims remained very much alive.
Hornyánszky Viktor was a well-established Budapest printing house with serious government contract work to its name, which lent these pieces a finish credible enough to unsettle casual observers. The Adamo MSZK classification places it firmly within the corpus of Hungarian cinderella and propaganda paper rather than genuine fiscal issues.
