| Comments |
When Romanian forces occupied Bukovina in November 1918, the region's existing Austro-Hungarian currency remained in circulation by necessity. Overprinting was the practical solution — the 1000 Kronen notes already in local hands were stamped with "BANCA GENERALĂ ROMÂNĂ" markings to assert Romanian monetary authority while the administration of a formal replacement currency was still being organized in Bucharest.
The overprint series covering Bukovina is distinct from the contemporaneous Romanian overprints applied to notes circulating in Transylvania and Banat, reflecting the separate administrative paths each occupied territory took in 1918–1919. P#R10 sits in a narrow window between military occupation and formal monetary integration.
