20 Heller Furth bei Göttweig, Grey green issue

Furth bei Göttweig is a small market town in Lower Austria best known for its proximity to Göttweig Abbey, and like hundreds of other Austrian municipalities, it issued Notgeld during the severe coin shortage that followed the collapse of the Habsburg economy. The grey-green printing distinguishes this from the earlier issues in the same denomination — colour variants within a single municipality's Notgeld run were common, often driven by whatever paper stock the local printer had available rather than any official policy.

Josef Faber of Krems was a regional printer handling multiple Lower Austrian municipal commissions in this period. Otto Stoitzner, who designed this note, came from a prominent Viennese artistic family — his father Josef Stoitzner was a well-regarded landscape painter — and Otto himself worked across applied and decorative arts before the economic chaos of the early 1920s apparently brought him into Notgeld design work.
