| Comments |
Issued in 1849 during the final, desperate phase of the Hungarian Revolution, this 4 Kreuzer piece belongs to a category of emergency fractional notes that proliferated across Hungary as the Habsburg blockade choked off coin supply. The Ung-Beregi Royal Commissioner — a Hungarian revolutionary administrative office covering the northeastern counties around Ungvár and Munkács — had no central printing infrastructure, and these notes were produced under improvised local conditions.
Signed by Eötvös Tamás, the commissioner responsible for the territory. The Hungarian revolutionary government fell to combined Austrian and Russian forces in August 1849; notes of this type had a circulation life measured in weeks.
