About this banknote
The Oesterreichisch-Ungarische Bank issued the 2 Kronen banknote in 1917. This series was introduced on March 1, 1917, during World War I, to address the increasing demand for currency within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The front of the banknote features portraits of women on both the left and right sides, with the denomination "ZWEI KRONEN" prominently displayed. The note measures 110 x 70 mm and is printed in red on a gray underprint. It was signed by Lehmann and Fuerin. In 1919, following the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, existing notes were overprinted with "DEUTSCHÖSTERREICH" to signify the new Republic of German-Austria.
