100 Kruna Slovenian

These notes were created through a practical improvisation rather than a purpose-designed issue: Austrian-Hungarian 100 Kronen notes were overprinted and restamped for use in the newly proclaimed Kingdom. The underlying Austro-Hungarian paper had no legitimacy in the new state, but outright replacement was logistically impossible in 1919 — the overprint was the stopgap.

The P#9B designation distinguishes a specific overprint or paper variant within what is otherwise a crowded series of similar issues. Forged and altered overprints are a documented problem across the entire Slovenian overprint group, and attribution between catalog variants requires close examination of the stamp placement and ink.
