| Comments |
Auberg is a small rural municipality in Upper Austria, and like hundreds of similarly sized communities, it issued emergency paper money — Notgeld — during the postwar currency chaos that followed the dissolution of the Habsburg Empire. The Austrian crown was collapsing in purchasing power, small coin had effectively vanished from everyday use, and local governments filled the gap with their own printed scrip. These notes were legal only within the issuing community and were theoretically redeemable, though in practice many never were.
Bernhard Derschmidt was a notable figure in Austrian Notgeld design, contributing to multiple Upper Austrian municipal issues during this period. The printer F. Huncluland is less documented; regional job printers handled much of this work outside the major centers.
