Hi all, Recently I have got two banknotes from Hungary 1944 - 100 and 20 Pengo. I bought them because they were Army notes while the Soviets occupide Hungary in the WW II. I would like to know more about these nots please, if anyone can help I would be glad I know that these note are 2 from a series of notes that starts at 1 Pengo to 1,000 Pengo - can anyone direct me to a place where I can find the other notes and some more info. Can you help me understand the writing on the notes - what they mean? and how can I tell by looking at the note that this is an Army note of the USSR? can some one translate the sentances n the note please I would be glad to know if there are more notes from Hungary that were USSR army notes? I have found that 1944 is a year that there were notes in Hunga that were belong to the Soviet occupation. Are there any others? I'm intersted in other Soviet occupations Banknotes from other countries if there are others I would be glad to know. Please can some one direct me to a place where I can find these notes please? I would be happy to see all other notes from Soviet Union while they occupide other countries at World War II (1939-1945). If there are some earlier banknotes of Soviet Occupations I would be glad to know also. One last thing I would be glad to know if there are RARE notes in Hungary Notes of 1944 and also Rare ones from other countries. Thanks for your help TQ Enclosed are scans of the notes
Very interesting - By coincidence, yesterday I spent a good bit of time identifying a Japanese note issued for Burma during the Japanese occupation in WWII.
Those look really nice...I do not know much about them but the engraving looks excellent!! Thanks for sharing those.. RickieB
Next time you need information on any Japanese occupation money - notes or coins - just post a picture and PM me that you have done so. As you no doubt discovered, your note is one of a series of nine, ranging from one cent through 100 rupees, undated but issued during the occupation of Burma in World War II. They are fairly common, and yours is cataloged by the Japanese Numismatic Dealers Association at ¥150 (~$1.63). In pristine condition it would have a catalog value of ¥300 (~$3.26).
All the notes issued by the Soviets for Hungary during WWII are found on Ron Wise's Paper Money Gallery http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/countries/hungary.html#military I cannot give you much history or a translation but the Soviet notes are the only Hungarian notes dated in 1944. The Soviets also issued occupation notes in: China http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/countries/china_page_4.html#military (scroll down to Russian issues) Czechoslovakia http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/countries/czechoslovakia.html (P-45-50) North Korea (no pictures but they look similar to the China issues) Poland http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/countries/poland.html (P-104-120) Romania http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/countries/romania.html#military (P-M11 and 12) The Hungarian notes are not scarce. They price in Pick anywhere between $3.00 (2 pengo) and $60.00 (one type of the 20 pengo) in UNC. Sorry to disappoint you, RickieB, but the Russian notes are lithographed, not engraved. They look flat in person.
