1 Krone Banknote (1922)
1922 ・ paper ・ 20th century ・ Austro-Hungarian Bank (in liquidation)
A one-krone banknote from the year prices reached 14,000 times their pre-war levels. The smallest denomination, with which almost nothing could be bought, was still dutifully printed. The printing on the reverse is faint, and the paper is thin. The very simplicity of the banknote's construction is a document that speaks to the economic conditions of the year.
