| Comments |
The Oesterreichisch-ungarische Bank's 1910 100 Kronen issue belongs to a series that remained in circulation well beyond the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918. Under the postwar successor states, these notes were overstamped — Austria, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and others each applied their own markings to segregate circulating currency within their new borders, a process that created dozens of distinct collectable varieties from a single base issue.
Unstamped examples like this one were officially demonetized but survived in quantity, largely because the volume printed was enormous. The printing house was the k.k. Staatsdruckerei in Vienna.
