| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld from the early 1920s occupies a peculiar space in paper money history — these emergency issues were not born of genuine local necessity by 1920 so much as collector demand. The notgeld bubble was in full effect, with towns across Austria and Germany producing attractive small-denomination notes knowing philatelists would snap them up before they ever changed hands in a bakery. Ebreichsdorf, a small market town south of Vienna, was no exception.
The Killmayer-Wappel designer credit is unusual enough to note — local artistic involvement in notgeld production was common, but named individual designers appear less frequently than anonymous house work.
