Hungary 10,000 Adopengo Banknote, 1946, P-143a, Used

This used 10,000 Hungarian adopengo was issued by the Ministry of Finance as initially a tax note, but later circulated as normal currency. Its obverse side shows an ornate border, the signature of Finance Minister Gordon Ferenc, and Hungarian text that translates to “Tax voucher for the 10,000 tax pengo. To be used until the 31st of July 1946 for payment of debts of communal taxes, utility fees, and other services.” Its reverse side shows the terms and conditions for using the note. Because it was originally intended to be a tax voucher, it does not have a security thread or a watermark. However, it measures 136 mm long and 83 mm wide.
