2 Austrian Hungary Notes, One With Overprint

The Republic of German-Austria (German: Republik Deutschösterreich or Deutsch-Österreich) was created following World War I as the initial rump state for areas with a predominantly German-speaking population within what had been the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

German-Austria claimed sovereignty over all the majority-German territory of the former Habsburg realm: a total area of 118,311 km2 (45,680 sq mi) with 10.4 million inhabitants. This included nearly all the territory of present-day Austria, plus South Tyrol and the town of Tarvisio, both now in Italy; southern Carinthia and southern Styria, now in Slovenia; and Sudetenland and German Bohemia (which later became part of Sudetenland), now in the Czech Republic. In practice, however, its authority was limited to the Danubian and Alpine provinces of the old Habsburg realm—with few exceptions, most of present-day Austria.

I think the Republic of Germany-Austria is only a transitional stage to the present two States. Though the period is short, this 10 Kronen note is a good proof for its presence. The original note was issued in 1915 but the overprint was pressed in 1919. I would consider these two notes are very valuable to "frozen" this significant history.

Thank you Lettow and Sap for your good historical knowledge.
