| Opmerkingen |
Austrian Notgeld of this type was a direct consequence of the severe coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy. Municipalities across what remained of Austria issued their own emergency small-denomination notes from roughly 1919 onward, filling a gap the new republican government was too financially strained to address through minting. Altenberg, a small Upper Austrian community, was among hundreds of such local authorities that produced these issues — typically in short print runs managed locally.
The 1920 date places this within the second wave of Austrian municipal Notgeld, by which point many towns had already begun treating the series as a collector revenue opportunity as much as a genuine circulating necessity.
