The Hadsegélyező Hivatal — the Austro-Hungarian War Relief Office — issued these fractional emergency notes in 1916 to address the acute small-change shortage that had gripped Hungary as hoarding stripped silver and copper coins from circulation. These are not banknotes in any conventional sense; they are closer to scrip, issued by a welfare and relief body rather than a central or commercial bank, and their legal standing for general transactions was always ambiguous.
At 38 × 22 mm, this is among the smallest pieces of emergency paper money produced during the war. Globus was a well-established Budapest printing house, but the production values here were necessarily minimal.
