When Romanian forces occupied Bukovina following the collapse of Austria-Hungary, the administration needed a rapid currency solution before proper Romanian notes could be distributed. The answer was crude but practical: existing Austro-Hungarian 20 Kronen notes were overstamped with a bilingual "ROMANIA / BUCOVINA" overprint to differentiate them from notes still circulating on the other side of the new frontier. The overprint carried legal authority; the underlying note was essentially enemy paper.
The Pick reference P#R5 places this firmly in the Romanian regional emergency issues. The 1919 date on the overprint contrasts with the underlying Austro-Hungarian note's original printing date — the two layers of authority visible on a single piece of paper are the whole story here.
