| Comments |
The Austro-Hungarian Bank issued this 200 Kronen note in the final year of the war, but by the time it reached circulation the empire it represented had ceased to exist. The armistice of November 1918 preceded the formal dissolution of the dual monarchy, leaving enormous quantities of Kronen notes stranded across newly-formed successor states — Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Poland — each of which dealt with the flood of common currency differently.
Czechoslovakia famously stamped and then reissued retained notes as provisional national currency in early 1919. Unstamped examples were demonetized. The three-signature format — Generalrat, Vizegouverneur, and Generalsekretär — was the bank's standard authorization structure in its Vienna operations during the late war period.
