| Comments |
This note was issued by the Oesterreichisch-ungarische Bank in the final, technically defunct phase of the Austro-Hungarian monetary union. By 1919, the successor states had already begun stamping circulating Austro-Hungarian banknotes with their own overprints to claim them as national currency — Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Romania, and Austria each ran separate stamping operations, often chaotically, in the first months after dissolution. An unstamped 1000 Kronen note like this one occupied a genuinely ambiguous legal position depending on where it was held.
The Oesterreichisch-ungarische Bank was formally liquidated in 1922, but by then the inflation trajectory in the successor states had already rendered the denomination largely academic.
