| Opmerkingen |
Franz Pittner was one of dozens of Austrian commercial firms that issued Kleingeldersatz — small-change substitutes — during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. The Habsburg monetary system had collapsed, the new Republic of Austria was scrambling to establish itself, and municipal and private issuers stepped into the gap with notgeld in denominations too small for the state to bother printing. Firma Franz Pittner, a St. Pölten business, signed its own paper and put it into local circulation as a purely practical stopgap.
The 1920 date places this note in the later wave of Austrian notgeld, by which point the phenomenon had become almost routine in Lower Austria's commercial towns.
