| Comments |
Hungary's postwar currency situation in 1920 was chaotic by any measure. The Austro-Hungarian Krone had collapsed alongside the empire, and the new Hungarian state was issuing its own korona notes under severe economic strain — this 100 Korona being one of several denominations produced during that transitional period before hyperinflation made such values essentially worthless within a few years.
Josef Pfeiffer was a Viennese designer, and his involvement here reflects how deeply intertwined Hungarian and Austrian printing infrastructure remained even after the political separation of 1918.
