| Comments |
Austrian notgeld from the inflationary spiral of the early 1920s, issued by the estate administration of Innernstein — a private agricultural estate rather than a municipality or savings institution. Estate-issued notgeld is considerably less common than the town and chamber issues that dominate most collections, since the quantities printed were small and distribution was effectively limited to workers and tenants on the property itself.
F. Kling is credited as designer, placing this among the artistically documented pieces in the broader notgeld corpus, though Kling worked across numerous small commissions during this period.
