| Comments |
Eggenburg's municipal notgeld of 1920 belongs to the second wave of Austrian town-issued emergency money — by this point the Heller denominations were already being phased out at the national level, which made the continued use of the unit at the local level a minor administrative anachronism. The Pressevereinsdruckerei was the town's own press association print shop, making this a genuinely local production from design to distribution, unusual even among Austrian Notgeld issues where outside printers were frequently engaged.
