| Comments |
Sonntagberg is a pilgrimage village in Lower Austria, and its 1920 Notgeld issues were printed locally at the Waidhofen an der Ybbs press — one of dozens of small regional print shops that found steady business during Austria's acute small-change shortage following the collapse of the Habsburg monetary system. The design credit to Arch. J. B. Bukovics and Knell is unusual; architectural involvement in Notgeld design was not uncommon, but named design credits at this level of municipal issue are rarer than the notes themselves.
