| Reverse lettering | Puchberg am Schneeberg. Von Wien in zirka zweistündiger Bahnfahrt erreichbar, breitet sich Puchberg am Fuße des Schneebergs aus, dessen Alpenpracht sich hier in vollem Glanze zeigt. Eine Folge der nahen, ozonreichen Hochwälder, Almen und Triften ist das erfrischende, belebende Klima. Nach allen Richtungen ziehen bequeme, gut markierte Promenadenwege auf ebenem und sanft ansteigendem Gelände. Die herrlichsten Landschaftsbilder bietet jedoch die Besteigung des Hochschneebergs. Wer aber die Mühen mehrstündigen Wanderns scheut, kann die Zahnradbahn benützen, welche in einstündiger Fahrt den Berg erklimmt. |

| Comments |
Puchberg am Schneeberg is a small resort town at the foot of the Schneeberg massif in Lower Austria, better known today as the terminus of the Schneebergbahn rack railway than for its wartime scrip. This note belongs to the Notgeld wave that swept Austrian municipalities between 1919 and 1922, when chronic coin shortages following the collapse of the Habsburg economy forced even minor market towns to issue their own emergency small-denomination paper.
Paul Gerin's Vienna workshop produced a large share of Lower Austrian municipal Notgeld during this period, often working from designs submitted by local artists. Anton Peschke's involvement places the visual conception firmly within the community itself rather than delegated entirely to the printer.
