Schlick-Nicholson was one of Hungary's major industrial combines — a manufacturer of railway wagons, machines, and rivercraft headquartered in Budapest. During the chaotic months of 1919, when the Hungarian Soviet Republic's economic disruptions left workers without access to reliable currency, industrial firms across the country began issuing their own emergency notes to cover wage payments. This is one of those factory scrips, a purely internal instrument designed to keep production moving when the banking system could not.
Weiss Antal's involvement suggests at least a considered design effort rather than a hastily rubber-stamped chit. Factory issues of this period were typically redeemable only at the issuing company's own commissary or cash office.
