Schönbühel an der Donau is a small market town on the Wachau stretch of the Danube, and like hundreds of similar Austrian municipalities it resorted to locally printed Notgeld during the acute small-change shortage that followed the First World War. These emergency issues were a practical stopgap — the central authorities simply could not produce enough low-denomination coin to meet everyday commerce, so the burden fell to Gemeinden and Sparkassen to fill the gap themselves.
F. Seitenberg operated out of Vienna's third district and handled a number of these municipal commissions. Bürgermeister Trakowanitsch's signature validates the note as an official obligation of the market commune, not a private scrip.
