Nagyszőllős — today Vynohradiv in western Ukraine — was part of Ugocsa County when this note was issued in 1919, a year of acute monetary collapse across the former Hungarian kingdom. Ugocsai Világítási Rt. was a municipal utility company, and its decision to issue emergency paper almost certainly reflects the near-total disappearance of small-denomination coin and official currency from everyday transactions during that chaotic interregnum between Habsburg collapse and the eventual Romanian occupation of the region.
Utility-issued szükségpénz of this specificity — a lighting company, a small provincial town, a single surviving Adamo reference — are among the most locally grounded emergency issues of the period.
