RI AL Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hello. Can anyone help me identify this note? My first guess would be Hungary, but I can't seem to find a 5 forint bill that matches this description. Croatia also used the "Forint" denomination but there is no listing there.Then I thought, Austrio-Hungary but there is no listing with a forint denomination in Standard Catalog of World Paper Money..Above the serial number it says, Buda-Pest, September 1, 1848, which brings me back to Hungary...but who knows. Thanks! RI AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettow Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 It is from Hungary. It was issued by the Hungarian Commercial Bank during the Revolution of 1848. It is in the Specialized Pick Catalog (Volume I) as PS-116. It is a 5 forint note. It was issued by Kossuth who also issued the Hungarian Fund notes in the United States. It catalogs at 2.00/VG 6.00/Fine 30.00/EF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
