| Opmerkingen |
This note was issued in the revolutionary year of 1848 — the same months that saw Vienna erupt in uprising, Metternich flee to England, and the Habsburg court temporarily abandon the capital for Innsbruck. The Privilegirte Oesterreichische National-Bank had been issuing small-denomination Einlösungsscheine since the Napoleonic-era fiscal crises, and the 2 Gulden denomination served a population still deeply skeptical of paper instruments.
The sole security feature — an embossed or printed official seal — reflects how rudimentary anti-counterfeiting measures remained at mid-century Austria. Political instability throughout 1848–49 created chronic hoarding, which is why low-denomination notes from this issue survive in disproportionately high grade relative to their age.
