| 表面の説明 | An Austro-Hungarian Bank 1000 Kronen note of the 1902 issue, overprinted for circulation in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes via a Slovenian-language adhesive stamp reading 'KRALJESTVO SRBOV HRVATOV SLOVENCEV' applied to the German-language face, accompanied by a circular validation handstamp. The underlying note presents a central oval vignette of a young woman at right, set within an elaborate guilloche border with ornate corner rosettes and the large letterpress denomination 'EZER KORONA' at centre. Three manuscript signatures of bank officials appear below the central text block, with the issuer inscription 'OSZTRÁK-MAGYAR BANK' and date 'BÉCS: 1902' in the lower field. |

This note belongs to a transitional monetary episode that followed the collapse of Austria-Hungary. Rather than print entirely new currency, the new Kingdom simply overstamped existing Austro-Hungarian banknotes — in this case, 1000 Kronen notes issued by the Austro-Hungarian Bank in Vienna — with Serbo-Croatian and Slovenian text to assert fiscal authority over the former imperial currency still circulating across the northern territories.
The overprinting was done hastily and inconsistently, which produced multiple stamp varieties. Pick lists both 10a and 10b variants distinguished by differences in the overprint application. Forgeries of the stamps were also a documented problem almost immediately after issue.
