| Opmerkingen |
In late 1918 and into 1919, Romanian authorities moved to control the money supply in newly acquired territories by overprinting existing Austro-Hungarian Bank notes rather than issuing fresh currency. The overprint on this 20 Coroane note explicitly names both Transilvania and the Banat, reflecting the administrative reality on the ground — the two regions had different annexation timelines and were governed under separate provisional arrangements before full integration.
The Banat was contested territory. Romania and Yugoslavia both claimed it following the armistice, and the overprint's dual regional naming carries that unresolved political tension. A definitive partition wasn't settled until the Treaty of Trianon in 1920.
