The text on the front states that acceptance is compulsory in all payments and that counterfeiting is punished under martial law. These notes circulated alongside regular Hungarian money during the last months of the war and the start of the 1945–46 hyperinflation, and they were withdrawn in 1946. The 1 Pengő exists in several varieties; the standard notes have no serial number, while the variety with a serial number is catalogued separately as P-M2c, and only about 2% of Numista members who own this note have that variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🎨 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"A Vöröshadsereg Parancsnoksága – EGY PENGŐ\" with large \"1\" numerals in an ornate frame and two rosettes, the compulsory-acceptance and martial-law text, and the red serial number BP 286470 printed twice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"A Vöröshadsereg Parancsnoksága – EGY PENGŐ\" in a central panel, large \"1\" numerals in ovals and the date 1944.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🔍 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumismatic Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Military occupation note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hungarian pengő\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hungary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssuing Authority:\u003c\/strong\u003e Command of the Red Army (A Vöröshadsereg Parancsnoksága)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1944\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e P-M2c, with serial number (BP 286470)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eF (Fine) \/ Circulated.\u003c\/strong\u003e A well-circulated note with multiple folds and creases, softer paper and some edge wear or light staining, but complete, with all design elements clearly visible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Extreme Banknotes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61591113826638,"sku":null,"price":14590.0,"currency_code":"HUF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/8647\/3806\/files\/Hungary_1_Pengo_1944_Red_Army_P-M2c_F_Serial_1_front_back.jpg?v=1794151473","url":"https:\/\/extremebanknotes.com\/products\/hungary-1-pengo-1944-red-army-p-m2c-f-rare-serial-number-variety-collectible-banknote","provider":"Extreme Banknotes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
