| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld of this type was a direct response to the acute small-change shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. Deutsch-Wagram — a small market town northeast of Vienna, best known as the site of Napoleon's costly 1809 victory over the Austrians — issued its own scrip through the local printer Franz Schweng in Gänserndorf rather than waiting on Vienna for coin relief that wasn't coming.
Schweng was a regional jobbing printer, not a security press. These notes were never meant to outlast the crisis.
