Commenti	Temesvár was one of the last Habsburg strongholds to hold out during the 1848–49 Hungarian Revolution. The city endured a siege by Hungarian revolutionary forces lasting over a hundred days — among the longest of the entire conflict — and this note was issued by the city's own treasury to keep commerce functioning when regular currency supply was cut off. The besieged garrison and civilian population both accepted it out of sheer necessity. The issuing authority is the royal free city treasury, not a bank or a military command, which is unusual for siege money of this period. Temesvár fell to imperial forces in August 1849 after the Hungarian revolutionary army collapsed elsewhere first.
