| Comments |
Austrian municipal notgeld of this type was a direct consequence of the coin shortage that plagued the new republic after 1918 — small-denomination metal coinage had effectively vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted, leaving towns like Ried im Traunkreis to fill the gap themselves. Hundreds of Austrian communes did the same in 1920, each issuing their own emergency fractions under informal sanction from Vienna.
