Wow! I am impressed. That is a lot of work to recover a piece of history. Thanks for sharing. These notes are all very attractive and the style of the heads seems similar for most. Was this one artist's work?

 

I am not sure if this is the work of one artist. The printer is the same during that era.

 

Nice collection! I found it really interesting that a couple had physical stamps affixed to them.

 

Austria-Hungary history - I find it fascinating... hence I have been learning history by collecting currency from this period....

 

I enjoy your site and this article as well, I have a decent Czech collection and I have one of the original Czech stamped notes. Great background on it, I knew some basics but your article was really good.
