This note was issued during the chaotic interlude of the Hungarian Soviet Republic (March–August 1919), when central authority had collapsed far enough that individual municipalities were printing their own emergency currency. Cegléd, a market town southeast of Budapest, did exactly that — the third signature, that of "a pénzügyi népbiztos megbizottja" (the delegate of the People's Commissar for Finance), was a Soviet-era formality meant to lend the issue official legitimacy it barely possessed.
Local emergency issues from this period were printed in extremely limited quantities and rarely survived the subsequent currency normalizations. The Ambrus catalogue remains the principal reference for these Hungarian szükségpénz issues.
