By 1923, Hungarian hyperinflation had rendered denominations that would have seemed unthinkable five years earlier entirely routine. This 100,000 Korona note was issued by the Ministry of Finance directly — Hungary had no functioning central bank at the time, the Austro-Hungarian Bank having been wound up after the dissolution of the empire, leaving fiscal and monetary issuance awkwardly merged in the same government office.
The Orell Füssli credit in the printer data refers to the intaglio plate work, not the full print run — Magyar Pénzjegynyomda handled domestic production as the Swiss firm supplied technical capacity it couldn't yet replicate locally.
