Austria 1800 Wiener Stadt Banco 1 Gulden issued note, Pick A29a, typographic Banco-Zettel design with value watermark in Arabic and Roman numerals

Austria 1800 - Wiener Stadt Banco 1 Gulden Issued Note (Pick A29a)

By 1800, Banco-Zettel currency was already subject to inflationary pressure, a factor that would culminate in suspension of convertibility and subsequent monetary reforms. As such, this 1 Gulden serves not only as a unit of exchange but also as a document of Austria’s early experiment with state-backed paper money at scale. Read more →

Austria 1806 - Wiener Stadt Banco 10 Gulden Issued Note (Pick A39a)

By 1806, the Banco-Zettel system was increasingly strained by inflation and fiscal imbalance, conditions that would soon lead to the suspension of convertibility and successive monetary reforms.

Austria 1800 Wiener Stadt Banco 5 Gulden issued note, Pick A33, featuring typographic design, blind embossed seals, and value watermark in Arabic and Roman numerals

Austria 1800 - Wiener Stadt Banco 5 Gulden Issued Note (Pick A33)

The 5 Gulden note of 1800, issued by the Wiener Stadt Banco, occupies a pivotal position within Austria’s early fiduciary paper money system known as Banco-Zettel. Introduced in 1796, this system marked the Habsburg Monarchy’s first sustained attempt to replace metallic circulation with state-backed paper currency, driven by the severe fiscal pressures of continuous warfare and structural budget deficits at the end of the eighteenth century.

Paraguay 1907 Banco de la República 100 Pesos issued note, Pick 159, non-overprinted base type later used for the 1912 state overprint issues, printed by Waterlow & Sons, London, with 100 watermark and Moneda Nacional ó Diez Pesos Oro Sellado clause, PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

Paraguay 1907 - Banco de la República 100 Pesos Issued Note (Pick 159)

Issued 1907 Banco de la República 100 Pesos note, cataloged as Pick 159 and printed by Waterlow & Sons, London. This is the original, non-overprinted base type from which the later 1912 emergency state issues were created. In its pure issued form, without the later “Emisión del Estado” overprint or the additional Treasury fiscal validation seen on rarer revalidated examples, the note preserves the full Waterlow design as it was intended before Paraguay’s monetary emergency transformed surviving stocks into provisional state currency.
