| Anmerkungen |
Hungary maintained paper currency production through the early war years with relative stability, but the 1941 20 Pengő belongs to a series that would soon be overwhelmed by one of the most catastrophic inflations in recorded history. By mid-1946, the Pengő had collapsed so completely that the Hungarian National Bank was issuing the Egymilliárd B.-Pengő — denominations in the quintillions — making this note, within five years of printing, worth a fraction of a fraction of nothing.
Circulation wear is common on surviving examples; wartime Hungary saw heavy transactional use of mid-range denominations like this one before hoarding behavior set in as inflation accelerated after 1944.
