This note was issued in the final weeks of a disintegrating empire. The Oesterreichisch-ungarische Bank was still printing and distributing currency as the Austro-Hungarian state collapsed in October and November 1918 — meaning notes of this series entered circulation into successor states that immediately began overprinting or withdrawing them to establish monetary independence.
Rudolf Rössler designed several denominations for the Bank's wartime issues. The 25 Kronen denomination itself was something of an oddity within the series, introduced to ease transactional gaps that wartime inflation had created between the lower and higher values.
