By the time this note entered circulation in mid-1946, Hungary's hyperinflation had already exceeded anything recorded in monetary history. The pengő was collapsing so rapidly that the National Bank printed denominations in the billions and trillions within weeks of this million-pengő issue — the B.-pengő unit itself, shorthand for billió-pengő (one trillion pengő), was introduced precisely because the existing numerical vocabulary had become unworkable for everyday transactions.
Helbing Ferenc and Géza Mészöly were both established figures in Hungarian graphic arts, but the quality of their work here was largely irrelevant — notes of this series circulated for days, not months, before losing all practical value.
