Step into a legendary moment of economic history. Issued on October 23, 1945, this 100,000 Pengő ("Százezer Pengő") note circulated during the accelerating phases of Hungary's post-WWII hyperinflation—the most extreme currency collapse ever recorded in global history.
The front of the note features an elegant, neoclassical portrait of a young Hungarian woman framed in complex geometric security lathe work. The reverse side beautifully displays the traditional Hungarian coat of arms wrapped in a laurel wreath, flanked by stylized fish motifs, with the denomination spelled out across multiple regional languages including German, Slovak, and Croatian.
