| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is framed by a decorative typographic border and presents the denomination bilingually: 'Zwei Gulden – Dwa Zlati' at the top and 'Két forint ezüst pénz' in large Hungarian script at centre, with a circular '2' numeral vignette. The main text reads 'Utalvány Magyar Ország közjövedeleméire.' in bold letterpress, followed by a Hungarian-language body text confirming acceptance at all royal cashier offices throughout Hungary. The note bears the place and date 'Budán 1. Március 1849', a manuscript signature, and multilingual footer lines in Hungarian and what appears to be Serbian/Croatian ('Два фopинта – Дой флорићина.'). |

| Opmerkingen |
The Magyar Általános Pénztár was a short-lived revolutionary institution, established by the Hungarian government during the 1848–49 War of Independence against Habsburg rule. These Forint notes were printed locally in Buda out of necessity — the revolutionary government had no access to the established imperial printing infrastructure in Vienna, and Kossuth's administration needed circulating paper currency fast.
Production quality reflects those constraints. Printing was done under improvised conditions, and the paper stock varied across batches. The Austrian suppression of the revolution by August 1849 rendered the entire emission worthless almost immediately after issue.
