Abstract

Numismatic catalogues and literature note examples of forged Austrian gulden
banknotes issued in the late 18th and especially in the 19th century. Forged banknotes of
this kind are owned by museum and private numismatic collections. The forgeries were
made by drawing, in smaller amounts, and by printing procedures, in larger amounts,
although forging money was strictly sanctioned by law. The examples of forged onegulden
banknotes (issue 1 January 1858), made both by drawing and printing, are interesting
because of the time when they were made and circulated, and also because of
their quality. The article shows the characteristics of these forgeries.
