Komárom held out longer than anywhere else during the Hungarian Revolution — the fortress surrendered to Austrian forces on 2 October 1849, the very last revolutionary stronghold to fall. This small siege note was issued under that pressure, when the garrison was cut off and conventional currency had dried up entirely. The Military Command essentially printed its own money to keep the local economy of soldiers, traders, and civilians functioning within the walls.
The nearly square format is a direct consequence of wartime printing constraints, not a design choice. Paper was scarce, presses were improvised, and the notes were cut accordingly.
