| Opmerkingen |
The Austro-Hungarian Bank's 1904 10 Korona series (Pick 18) was a high-volume issue printed to serve a dual-monarchy spanning eleven major national groups and dozens of languages — the obligation text on these notes runs in eight languages, a logistical and typographic challenge that no purely national bank of the period had to solve. The note circulated across a geography stretching from Vorarlberg to Transylvania, meaning surviving examples entered the philatelic market from wildly different archival conditions depending on which successor state absorbed the local reserves after 1918.
Many Pick 18 examples found today passed through the liquidation accounts of the postwar successor states — Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary — each of which handled unredeemed Austro-Hungarian currency differently. Hungarian-held stocks in particular suffered from poor storage during the upheaval of 1919.
