| Comments |
Texing is a village in Lower Austria with a population that barely cleared 500 in the early twentieth century — making this among the more obscure issuers in the vast Austrian Notgeld series. The note belongs to the wave of emergency small-change scrip that flooded the country between 1919 and 1921, when coins had effectively vanished from everyday commerce due to wartime hoarding and metal requisitioning.
Printed by Rudolf & Fritz Radinger in nearby Scheibbs, it represents purely local production for local circulation — the Radinger firm handled a number of Notgeld commissions from surrounding Lower Austrian municipalities during this period.
