Original
An eight-note complete set of a short-lived issue of 1920 provisional Hungarian korona using Austro-Hungarian krone as a base note with a circular validation hand-stamp. Immediately following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, provisional banknotes for the separate countries consisted of the remaining currency of the Empire, made country-specific through an over-stamping/validation process. One side is printed entirely in German, the other in Hungarian. The value of the note (on the German language side) appears additionally in Czech, Polish, Croatian, Slovene, Serbian, Italian, Ukrainian and Romanian. (The 25 and 200 Korona notes are only printed on one side).

Brandmeister- I mentioned at the end of the description, the 25 and 200 (because the base notes were part of a later series) were only printed on one side. Thanks.--Godot13 (talk) 22:54, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
