Beregszász was a predominantly Hungarian-speaking market town in the northeastern corner of the Kingdom of Hungary, and by early 1919 it was caught between the retreating Hungarian administration and the advancing Romanian and later Czechoslovak forces. The municipal treasury issued these korona notes locally — printed at the Balogh print shop in town — because ordinary coinage and banknotes had effectively stopped circulating. Emergency municipal issues of this kind were almost never sanctioned by a central authority; they were practical decisions made by local officials operating in an administrative vacuum.
Deputy Mayor Hunyady Gyula's signature alone on the note reflects how stripped-down the issuing apparatus had become. The Adamo catalogue treats this as a discrete series, distinguishing BER-1.2 from related types by signature or printing variation.
