Leibicz — known today as Ľubica in Slovakia — was a small Saxon German-speaking town in the Szepes (Zips) region of the Kingdom of Hungary. During World War I, the Austro-Hungarian crown coinage vanished from circulation almost entirely, hoarded or melted, and municipal authorities across the region filled the void by issuing their own emergency paper. This note is one of those local stopgaps, authorized by the town's mayor rather than any banking institution, with legitimacy resting entirely on a single official stamp.
The Ambrus catalogue remains the primary reference for this class of Hungarian municipal notgeld, and Leibicz issues are among the less commonly encountered Szepes examples.
