| Comments |
Ugocsai Világítási Rt. was a municipal lighting utility, and this 5 Korona note is precisely the kind of emergency scrip that proliferated across Hungary in 1919 when the postwar collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monetary system left local institutions — including utility companies — issuing their own paper to meet payroll and small transactions. Nagyszőllős, a market town in Ugocsa County, would within months find itself incorporated into the newly formed Romania under the Treaty of Trianon, making this note's circulation window extraordinarily brief.
The Adamo MSZK catalog documents it as one of the scarcer provincial utility issues from that year.
