| Comments |
A joint issue from three small Lower Austrian municipalities — Bubendorf, Meilersdorf, and Wolfsbach — this note belongs to the vast wave of Austrian Notgeld produced between 1919 and 1921 when chronic coin shortages left communities printing their own small-denomination emergency scrip. The postwar collapse of the Habsburg monetary system pushed even hamlets into the printing business.
Joint issues from multiple villages on a single note are relatively uncommon in the Lower Austrian series and suggest the communities shared either administrative resources or a single local printer.
