Comments
In circulation: 1 January 1842 - 31 May 1852
The Napoleonic Wars had so shattered Austria's finances that a reorganization of the monetary system was inevitable. For this purpose, the Privileged Austrian National Bank was founded as a stock corporation in 1816. With a certain degree of independence from the state, it was able to operate much more independently than the Wiener Stadt-Banco. First, she withdrew the old notes and changed them to new ones: for 250 old paper guilders you received 100 new ones. As a result, the Austrian population lost a considerable part of their wealth. In the year it was founded, it issued its first series of banknotes. Through strict supervision of the amount of paper money, the bank succeeded in stabilizing the monetary system again. With the issue of 1816 guilloches were used on the banknotes for the first time. With the series from 1825, there was a changeover to machine numbering. From 1841, images were added in order to achieve greater recognition and protection against forgery.
