| Comments |
Oed is a small market municipality in Lower Austria, and this note is a piece of Notgeld — emergency small-change currency issued by Austrian towns during the chronic coin shortage that gripped the country from roughly 1916 onward. F. Kiefer was a printer based in the nearby district town of Amstetten, the logical choice for a municipality with no budget for distant specialist printers. Reitinger's involvement as designer is the one detail that lifts this above purely functional municipal printing.
Three signatories authenticated each note: the Bürgermeister, his deputy, and a single Gemeinderat — the minimum credible quorum for a transaction of civic authority, however modest the denomination.
