| Comments |
This note exists because of a specific administrative problem: after Romania took control of Bukovina following the collapse of Austria-Hungary in 1918, the region was still flooded with Austro-Hungarian kronen. The Romanian National Bank responded by overprinting existing Austro-Hungarian stock with Romanian authority markings, creating a provisional currency for the transition period rather than waiting for a fully redesigned national issue to be produced and distributed.
The 1945 print date is the anomaly worth noting. By that point Bukovina had been partially ceded to the Soviet Union under the 1940 ultimatum — the northern half going to the Ukrainian SSR. Why printing continued under that reference date remains a cataloging question that has not been cleanly resolved in the literature.
