The Allied Military Authority schilling notes were printed in London by Bradbury Wilkinson ahead of the 1945 liberation of Austria, intended as an occupation currency to displace Reichsmarks without creating a monetary vacuum. The high denomination is notable: a 1,000 Schilling ceiling implies the issuing authority anticipated significant commercial transactions needing coverage, not just small-change troop payments.
Soviet forces, arriving in Vienna before the Western Allies, accepted these notes under the quadripartite agreement — one of the rare cases where a single printed series circulated simultaneously under four separate occupying powers with genuinely divergent economic agendas.
