Abstract

Numismatic catalogues and literature record specimens of forged Austrian gulden banknotes made at the end of the 18th and especially during the 19th century. These banknotes can be found in museum and private numismatic collections. The forgeries were made using drawing (smaller amounts) and printing techniques (larger amounts), although there were severe legislative sanctions for forging money. The examples of forged 1 and 5 guldens (issued on 7 July 1866) made by printing and drawing are especially interesting because of the time when they were made and their circulation, and also because of the quality of the work. The author shows the characteristics of these forgeries.
