| Comments |
One of thousands of Austrian municipal emergency notes — Notgeld — printed between 1919 and 1922 to address a chronic small-change shortage that the central authorities never adequately resolved after the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. St. Thomas bei Waizenkirchen is a small parish in Upper Austria, and the printing was handled locally by Lanz in nearby Eferding rather than dispatched to a major urban press. The Bürgermeister's signature, Doplmair, gave the note whatever legal authority a village government could credibly claim.
