| Comments |
Behamberg is a small rural municipality in Upper Austria, and this note was issued not by a bank or government treasury but by a local farmers' council — one of hundreds of Austrian Gemeinden that resorted to printing their own emergency Kleingeld after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left the new republic chronically short of small-denomination coins. The Bauernrat context is unusual; most comparable notgeld came from municipal councils or commercial issuers, not agricultural representative bodies.
E. Haas & Comp. in nearby Steyr handled a substantial volume of regional notgeld printing during this period, which kept costs low for tiny communities that needed only modest print runs.
