Szatmár-Németi — today Satu Mare in northwestern Romania — was one of several Hungarian provincial towns that issued emergency cash tickets ("pénztárjegy") in 1918 as the Austro-Hungarian monetary system buckled under the strains of military collapse and supply disruption. These branch-level instruments were authorized stopgaps, not rogue issues; the Osztrák-Magyar Bank permitted its regional offices to produce them when coin and small-denomination notes could no longer circulate adequately.
The 1000 Korona denomination is notably high for an emergency local issue, suggesting this was intended to facilitate commercial transactions rather than retail change-making. Within two years the town itself would change hands permanently under the Treaty of Trianon.
