10 Schillinge

Austria's postwar hyperinflation had been so severe that by the time the Oesterreichische Nationalbank was re-established in 1923, the old Krone had lost virtually all value — the Schilling introduced in 1925 was set at 10,000 Krone, and this 10 Schillinge note was among the first denominations issued under the new monetary order. Rudolf Junk was a prominent Viennese graphic artist, and Karl Sterrer an established academic painter; pairing them on banknote design reflected a deliberate cultural ambition in the new currency's presentation.

The series is known to have been withdrawn relatively quickly as the denomination proved awkward in daily use.
