This note was issued by an agricultural and forestry cooperative in Krems an der Donau during the chaotic inflationary period that followed Austria's post-war economic collapse. Small cooperatives and municipalities across Austria issued their own emergency scrip — Notgeld — between roughly 1919 and 1922, largely because the central banking system could not keep low-denomination coinage and currency in adequate supply. A regional producers' cooperative issuing its own 100 Heller note is not remarkable in that context, but the attribution to designer E. Topuske is — cooperative Notgeld of this type rarely carried individual design credits at all.
