MaximillianMike Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 04/02/2019 3:08 pm Looking for some assistance on the proper attribution of this 1918 10000 Kronen. What I already know is that it is Austro-Hungarian. Krause catalogs list two distinct attributes. One with the overprint as seen in the photo below and one without it. The later being significantly rarer. The overprint in my photo is from my 1000 Kronen note as my 10,000 is without it, as seen. I received this from my Grandpa who brought it back from his time in World War Two. What is particularly odd is that it has an Italian overprint on the Hungarian side which reads "Ufficio Stralcio - PRIGIONIERI" that translates to "Bureau Office - Prisoners" What is this note? A WW1 POW scrip perhaps? Is this the rarer no-overprint variety that the catalogs are referring too? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

I think you are right: it is from a POW in WW1 where it got this overprint. Is this the only note you have? ( you can send me an email if you like ) Report this Post to the Staff
MaximillianMike Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 08/08/2019 05:08 am Malcolm12345 This is the only one I have without the overprint but I have everything short of the 100 and 500k notes from this series. Thanks for the confirmation. This was a family pass down to me. My grandparents immigrated from Italy in the 1920's so perhaps that's how they came to acquire it.
