| Comments |
One of thousands of Austrian municipal Notgeld issues produced in the chaotic years following the First World War, when the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system left small communities scrambling to manufacture their own small-denomination scrip to cover everyday transactions. Weinzierl bei Wieselburg is a minor rural commune in Lower Austria — nothing about its local economy or wartime experience made it unusual among issuing municipalities.
The "c" suffix in the Jaksch reference indicates a third catalogued variety, suggesting minor typographic or color variants exist within the series.
