Ugocsai Világítási R.T. was a regional lighting utility company operating in Nagyszőllős — now Vynohradiv in western Ukraine — and this 10 filléres scrip is one of the more obscure examples of Hungarian emergency municipal and corporate currency issued during the chaotic months following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in late 1918. With small denomination coinage rapidly disappearing from circulation, local businesses and utilities across the former kingdom issued their own paper substitutes. Most were printed in tiny quantities and redeemed quickly, leaving very little in collector hands today.
