The Magyar Reviziós Liga was a nationalist pressure group formed to agitate for the revision of the 1920 Treaty of Trianon, under which Hungary lost roughly two-thirds of its prewar territory. This note is not a banknote in any legal sense — it was issued as propaganda scrip, a fundraising and awareness tool rather than a circulating currency. The denomination "Reviziós Pengő" has no monetary validity whatsoever.
Hornyánszky Viktor was one of Budapest's most established commercial printers, responsible for a wide range of official and semi-official printed matter in the interwar period. Their involvement lent the piece a surface credibility that was very much the point.
