| Anmerkungen |
The B.-Pengő — short for Billió-Pengő, or trillion Pengő — was created specifically to cope with the most severe hyperinflation ever recorded. Hungary's postwar monetary collapse dwarfed even Weimar Germany: at the peak in July 1946, prices were doubling roughly every fifteen hours, and the total value of all banknotes in circulation amounted to a fraction of one U.S. cent.
The 10,000 denomination, extraordinary as it sounds, was not the highest issued in the series. By the time the Forint reform arrived on 1 August 1946, one Forint was pegged at 400 octillion Pengő.
Both Helbing and Franke worked within the Hungarian printing establishment — the notes were produced domestically under conditions of severe material shortage, which occasionally shows in uneven ink distribution across surviving examples.
