| Comments |
Schlatten is a small village in Lower Austria, and like hundreds of similarly sized municipalities, it issued its own emergency paper money — Notgeld — during the acute coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy. The "Bromberg" designation in the note's name refers to a local geographic feature rather than the Prussian city of that name, a distinction that occasionally trips up catalogers working from title alone.
K. Piller of Vienna's third district was a minor commercial printer responsible for a number of Lower Austrian municipal issues in this period. Nothing technically distinctive is known about this particular printing.
