Jólsva — today Jelšava in Slovakia — was a small Hungarian mining town in Gemer County. This 10 Krajcár note was issued by the town treasury during the revolutionary period of 1849, when the Hungarian War of Independence against Habsburg rule created acute shortages of small-denomination coinage. Dozens of Hungarian municipalities issued their own emergency scrip that year for exactly this reason.
Ambrus catalogues these town-issued pieces separately from the main Kossuth-era emissions. Survival rate for small provincial issues of this type is poor — most circulated hard until redemption or simply disintegrated.
