| Comments |
Edlbach is a tiny municipality in Upper Austria — the kind of place whose wartime and postwar currency is easily dismissed as a curiosity. But the Heller notgeld issued by Austrian communes in 1920 reflects a genuine monetary crisis: the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian krone system left small change essentially nonexistent, forcing hundreds of individual Gemeinden to print their own fractional emergency money. Edlbach was simply one of hundreds doing what the central authorities could not.
The Norbertus-Druckerei in Vienna's third district was a Catholic printing house connected to the Premonstratensian order, an unusual choice of contractor for municipal scrip.
