| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse carries a central vignette of a female figure flanked by the Austrian and Hungarian coats of arms, with bilingual German and Hungarian text. By official decree, the "CITTÀ DI FIUME" handstamp or overprint was required to be applied over the Hungarian text on the face of the underlying Austria P-17 note, reflecting Fiume's status within the Hungarian crownland. Overprints found on the German text or on the reverse are considered to have been applied unofficially at a later date. |

Fiume's 1918–1919 period produced some of the most improvised emergency currency in European history. When the city's status became contested following the post-WWI collapse of Austria-Hungary, local authorities stamped existing Austro-Hungarian Kronen notes with "CITTÀ DI FIUME" overprints to assert a distinct civic monetary identity — a political act as much as a practical one. The CF stamp series is the roughest of these issues: hand-applied, inconsistently positioned, and frequently doubled or misaligned.
D'Annunzio's subsequent seizure of Fiume in September 1919 made this entire episode even more complicated for later researchers attempting to date specific stampings.
