Eger issued this municipal emergency note during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848–49, when the collapse of reliable coin circulation forced hundreds of towns across the kingdom to produce their own small-denomination paper. The city's treasurer or senior financial officer — here János Schaffer — signed each note to give it local legal standing, a practice that varied enormously in formality from one issuing town to the next.
Ambrus catalogues this as #106, placing it within a well-documented but physically fragile series. Provincial Hungarian Notgeld of this period suffers heavily from poor-quality wartime paper, and Eger examples are no exception.
