Condition...... Fine
Comments....... Oesterreichisch-ungarische Bank, österreichische Geschäftsführung (Austrian Management) Uniface note. Woman's bust on front. It is believed that the portrait shows Princess Maria Bertha Franciska Felicia zu Rohan.
However, it was not the intention of Oesterreichisch-Ungarische Bank to select this portrait due to the fact it shows a representative of an aristocratic family - and certainly not in 1922, when the First Republic was already established. The plate for this portrait is originally from AUSTRIA P-9, a note dating back to 1904.
In these days the identities of the persons displayed on Austrian banknotes were kept secret. The task of the artist was just to work out a portrait showing an "ideal child's head".
Image is exact note in lot.
Krone = Latin: Corona - "Crown"
