| Comments |
One of thousands of Austrian municipal emergency notes — Notgeld — issued during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. Schönbichl is a small Lower Austrian commune near the Danube, and like most rural parishes of its size, it turned to a local printer rather than a Vienna firm. F. Kielar of Amstetten handled production for several communes in the region during this period.
Three signatories authenticate the note: the Bürgermeister, Vicebürgermeister, and a Gemeinderat member — unusually full municipal sign-off for a 20 Heller denomination.
