Pick 47 is an Austrian rump-state overprint on a note designed for a multinational empire that no longer existed. After the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918, the successor states scrambled to differentiate their inherited currency stocks — Austria stamped its share with "Deutschösterreich" and later "Österreich" overprints to prevent notes from circulating freely across the new borders and being used to drain Austrian reserves.

The 1920 date reflects the overprinting campaign rather than the original print run, which preceded the armistice. Unstamped examples of the underlying note are considerably more common than clean, fully struck overprint copies, as the stamping was applied hastily and unevenly across large quantities.
