| Comments |
The 200 Korona of 1918 was issued in the final year of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's existence, with the Bank already printing under severe wartime strain. By this point the empire's finances were in open collapse — inflation had gutted the purchasing power of the krone series, and this denomination, once substantial, represented far less than its face value implied by the time it reached circulation.
After the armistice in November 1918, the successor states — Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, and others — each handled the old imperial notes differently. Hungary and Czechoslovakia both overprinted or stamped circulating Austro-Hungarian notes to distinguish their own currency stock during the chaotic transition period, meaning many surviving examples of this series carry additional markings applied well after original issue.
