Székesfehérvár's municipal utility company — responsible for the city's gas lighting and waterworks — issued its own emergency currency during the acute coin shortage that followed Hungary's post-war economic collapse. These Notgeld-style issues from non-banking entities were common in 1920–1921 across the former Hungarian crownlands, as the new state struggled to maintain a functioning small-denomination supply while the korona hemorrhaged value.
The Adamo MSZK catalogue documents this as a utility scrip, not a municipal or banking instrument — a distinction that affects how collectors approach series completeness.
