1 Kreuzer Jólsva

Jólsva — today Jelšava in Slovakia — was one of dozens of small Hungarian towns that printed emergency fractional notes during the 1848–49 revolution when small-change coinage vanished almost entirely from circulation. The Habsburg authorities' grip on the mint supply had broken down, and local municipalities filled the gap themselves, with varying degrees of official sanction and even less consistency in printing quality.

Ambrus catalogues this as #141, placing it within a well-documented but thinly surviving series of Hungarian municipal issues. Small-town kreuzer notes of this period were used hard and discarded fast — surviving examples are almost always heavily worn or damaged.
