| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is framed by two vertical ornamental borders of stylised floral and berry motifs in a Jugendstil manner. The central text field carries the issuing authority name in Gothic script, a faint green underprint vignette of a dove or bird at centre, and a multi-line legal obligation text dated 20/6 1920. At the foot, a manuscript signature of the Bürgermeister (mayor) appears above an anti-counterfeiting warning. |

A typical Austrian Notgeld issue from the post-WWI period, when hundreds of small municipalities printed their own emergency small-change notes to compensate for the near-total disappearance of coins from circulation. The central government in Vienna had neither the capacity nor the political will to supply adequate coinage during the economic chaos of 1919–1921, so the burden fell to towns and villages — some with populations in the low hundreds — to fill the gap themselves.
Sankt Marienkirchen an der Polsenz is a small parish commune in Upper Austria. Its Notgeld issues are not widely documented in specialist literature, which makes condition and provenance worth noting for any serious Notgeld collection.
