The Oesterreichisch-ungarische Bank's 1913 20 Kronen series was printed by the Oesterreichische Staatsdruckerei — the Austrian State Printing Office — which had been producing the Dual Monarchy's currency since the mid-nineteenth century and maintained exceptionally high engraving standards throughout. This note was issued during the last full peacetime year before the July Crisis of 1914 upended the Habsburg financial system entirely.
Wartime inflation and successive emergency issues rapidly displaced notes of this vintage from circulation. Many surviving examples bear rubber-stamp overprints or cancellation holes from postwar redemption bureaus in the successor states.
