About this banknote
The Austro-Hungarian Bank issued the 2 Kronen banknote (Pick #50) in 1919. This note was created by overprinting "DEUTSCHÖSTERREICH" in green on existing 2 Kronen notes dated March 1, 1917, to signify the transition to the Republic of German-Austria following the dissolution of 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 reverse side includes the inscription "KÉT KORONA," the Hungarian equivalent of "2 Kronen." The note measures 124 × 84 mm and was printed in red on a gray underprint.
