| Anmerkungen |
The Oesterreichisch-Ungarische Bank's second edition 20 Kronen was introduced as the monarchy struggled to modernize its currency supply ahead of what would become extraordinary wartime demand. The unusual proportions — nearly four times as wide as tall — were a deliberate anti-counterfeiting measure, as the elongated format complicated reproduction on the presses available to forgers at the time.
By 1918, notes of this type were circulating across a dissolving empire, and the successor states each dealt with the outstanding stock differently — Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia applied overprints to identify and sequester their respective shares before the final currency separation agreements were concluded.
