| Opmerkingen |
Hungary's postwar disintegration made small-denomination paper necessary in a hurry. The Austro-Hungarian krone had collapsed in practical terms well before it was formally replaced, and the Hungarian Ministry of Finance — not a central bank — issued this note directly, reflecting how thoroughly normal banking infrastructure had broken down by 1920. The Finance Ministry's direct role as issuer was a stopgap, not a policy choice.
P#56 belongs to a group of low-value emergency emissions that circulated hard and survived poorly. Inflation accelerated sharply through 1921–1922, making 2 korona notes economically worthless almost immediately after issue.
