Mosonvármegye (Wieselburg County) was among the Hungarian administrative units that issued emergency paper money during the chaotic weeks following the proclamation of the Hungarian Soviet Republic in March 1919. The Direktórium — the revolutionary council that briefly replaced traditional county governance — authorized these local notes to address an acute shortage of small-denomination currency as the central banking system collapsed under political upheaval.
Printed by the county's own press in Magyaróvár, each note was validated by hand with official stamps and individual signatures, making no two examples identical in their authentication marks. The bilingual issuer name reflects the county's mixed Hungarian-German population.
