| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld of this period was an administrative response to the severe coin shortage that persisted well after the armistice — the central government simply could not supply enough small-denomination coinage to keep local commerce moving. Salzburg, like hundreds of other Austrian towns, printed its own fractional emergency currency under provisions that allowed municipal authorities to do so temporarily.
The 1920 date places this issue in the later wave of Austrian notgeld, by which point the practice had become almost routine.
