This 2-piece collection chronicles the peak of postwar Hungary’s legendary financial collapse—the most rapid and extreme hyperinflation event ever recorded. Issued on June 3, 1946, this historic set pairs the 10,000 B.-Pengő note alongside its companion, the 100,000 B.-Pengő note, capturing a mind-boggling face value equivalent to 100 quadrillion original Pengő. The banknotes provides a spectacular tangible evidence of how the Central Bank frantically abandoned traditional serial number stamping just to speed up the printing presses and push currency out to a collapsing market, standing as an incredible visual testament to a monetary system in complete freefall.
